Interview with The Camp-ire

Monday, June 20th, 2011

We know we tell you how Awesome™ HCSC is all the time. But we figured unless you hear it from an actual camper then you might not believe us. Well don’t worry, now’s your chance to hear just how Awesome™ camp really is from an actual, real life, camper!!!

Name: Drew
Age: 13
Coach: Johnny O’Conner
Counselor: Shane & Colton in Whole Right

HCSC: Drew, where are you from?
Drew: I’m from Flagstaff, Arizona.

HCSC: How long have you been coming to camp?
Drew: This is my first summer at camp!

HCSC: What made you want to come to High Cascade Snowboard Camp?
Drew: I wanted to come to HCSC because it’s 100% Snowboarding™, and it’s Authorized Awesome™! I first heard about Camp when I got a postcard in the mail about HCSC. After I saw the postcard, I just knew I had to come here!

HCSC: Has High Cascade been everything that you’ve hoped it would be?
Drew: It has been more! I thought the skate park was going to be really small, but it’s actually huge! Also I thought the terrain park was going to be smaller, boy was I wrong! It’s a lot bigger then I thought it was going to be.

HCSC: What’s the one thing we do at HCSC that’s better then you could have possibly imagined?
Drew: Well you have an Activity Day™ for when people need to take a break from snowboarding and recharge. It gets really tiring snowboarding every single day, so having a day to do other things, like skate park tour, or rafting, is really awesome!

HCSC: How excited are you to come back to Camp next Summer?
Drew: So excited!!!

Gretchen Bleiler’s Totally Awesome and Fun Eco Challenge!

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

The Eco Challenge started out at a fast and furious pace with tons of Oakley goggles, Eco-friendly outerwear from the GB collection and Steve Fisher’s bamboo pro model up for grabs!

The whole Eco Challenge Scavenger Hunt Group posing with ALEX and Gretchen!

The campers had to complete a 10 question scavenger hunt including tasks such as: find Gretchen and Steve at their favorite Gov’y spot, pick up 5 pieces of trash and think of 2 ways HCSC could become more environmentally friendly.

The Scavenger Hunt Questions. Don't worry, we kept things green by printing them on the back of scrap paper from our recycling bin!

In what seemed like no time at all the first two teams rolled in with the completed Eco Challenges!

The first team to come back got to Ro Sham Bo between and Oakley prize pack or Steve Fisher's Pro Model Board. Can you guess who won the board?

It was a close race! These ladies took second place by mere seconds, and each got to pick out a peice of eco-friendly outerwear from the GB collection.

After the Eco Challenge results were all tallied, the camper teams met back at the lodge to make a piece of artwork or fashion out of the trash they had collected and any other reused or reclaimed items they could find. The level of creative insight for the art projects was incredible and there was even more prizes on the line for Gretchen’s and Steve’s favorite picks.

The 3rd place team got extra points for picking up way more than the required 5 peices of trash to make their art project.

The second place team found Gretchen's soft spot when they incorporated both ALEX of alexbottle.com and high cascade!

Last but not least, these guys incorporated the marshmallow, high cascade, and a snowboard/collage to bring home the first place title. Congrats!


The art work podium shot.

It was was fun, educational and generally awesome for everyone who was involved! I am looking forward to paging through all the Eco Challenges and put some of the ideas to work making my everyday life and high cascade more green! Check out more of the art projects below.
