If you’re going to venture to New Zealand for snowboard camp, you probably want to experience more than one mountain and its respective town. That’s exactly what All Star Adventures lets you do. We talked to All Star about their program that allows adult campers to travel to the major resorts on the South Island, experiencing the varying terrain and vibe of each. Don’t worry though, if you want more than in bounds resort riding, they can provide that too.

Why it’s cool for adults, what sets it apart?

Our camp is based in the lake resort community of Wanaka, which is a great little town full of charm, pubs, great restaurants, and fun activities. We stay in comfortable lodges and homes and travel to different resorts each day depending on the snow conditions and what our group wants to ride the most. Yes, that’s right we let the clients vote on where they want to ride! 

We ride Snow Park NZ, Cardrona, Treble Cone, Remarkables, and Coronet Peak. We provide all transportation for the duration of camp including airport transfers, daily transfer to the resorts, and transport for activities. Our lodging is always within walking distance of the town core, so nightlife is an easy stroll.

This would not be empty if we were there.

Nightlife?

Heck yes, from New Zealand’s oldest pub to clubs and other fun spots our guides know all of the best local places to show our guests a great time.

Activities?

You name it! Queenstown is dubbed “The Adventure Capital of the World” for good reason. Jet boating, rally car hot laps, bungee jumping and much more for the thrill seeker. And, plenty of more tame activities for those looking for more of a relaxing day.

Accommodations?

Comfortable lodges and homes. Shared or private rooms.

Hasn't everyone dreamt of an evening session at Snow Park since That's It That's All came out?

There can be up to 9 other adult campers.

Oldest camper hosted?

Age 48 thus far. Mostly 20s and 30s though.
