Activities
The human body can only take so much snowboarding.
After collapsing from a day on the glacier, grab a Volcano Cone, some Unicorn Food, or a Cobra Dog and recharge your batteries for some of the following activites.
Trampoline Sessions
Dial your tricks here before trying them on snow.
This year HCSC is proud to introduce brand new revolutionary trampolines from Springfree.
We love them and feel that you might too.

It's easy and safe to learn new moves on these revolutionary new trampolines
Tuck knee over the tramp ledge
Dodgeball
Epic battles of human vs. human in the world's only split level dodgeball arena. 50 on 50, music, announcing, spectators... Our dodgeball is legit.
Signature Session Activities
From On-hill pipe riding fun with the Frends Crew, jumping for candy with Eero Ettala and Heikki Sorsa, to Off-hill games of skate with Pat Moore, the Jeremy Jones donut eating contests, and Sing Star with Leanne Pelosi... these activities spice up the week quite nicely both on and off the snow.
Waterfall Hikes
Ever seen a river drop a huge cliff?
Manimal Hunting
Half man, Half Animal. Hunt down the Manimal in the Mt. Hood national Forest this summer.
Yoga
Loosen up and find those grabs easier.
The Staff Sale™
Once a session High Cascade's staff members and visiting pros sell their new and used gear at the legendary Staff Sale™. Like a snowboard flea market - deals of the century can be found on everything from hard to find Airblaster stuff to next year's boards, boots and bindings.
Japanese Lessons
Our Japanese staff will make you a conversational comedian in no time.
The Big Giveaway™
Thanks to our sponsors we're able to give away tons of prizes throughout the session. No matter how hard we try, we're always left with a ton of stuff on the last day. Solution: The Big Giveaway. Boards, boots, bindings, backpacks, goggles, clothing and more... The raffle to end all raffles.
The Talented Show™
At the end of every session we hold The Talented Show™ an entertaining festival of acrobatic, double-jointed, singing and dancing campers from around the country. We use the term talented loosely. If you can burp, fart or do a handstand: you're in.
The Huckleberry Jam™
A long-standing High Cascade tradition, this fun-filled camper skateboard contest is one part contest and two parts comedy show.
The Dance Party™
Once every session, we bump the Village of Government Camp. Put on you dancing gear and go throw some 'bows at The Dance Party.
The Session Video™
On the last night we all gather 'round the big screen and premier the edited action from the week gone by. It's a emotionally charged evening of hooting AND hollering. Remember to pre-order a copy and take the DVD home with you the next day. Go see recaps from Summer 2008 Session Videos.
And More: Mountain Biking, Swimming at the Lake, Fooseball, Pool, Ping Pong, Movies, Arts and Crafts, Soccer, Hoops, etc.
Activity Day
Halfway through the session is a good time to spend a day off the mountain and recharge the legs. If you want a break, here's a chance to join the counselors on activity adventures. (Kind of like field trips*, but like fourteen times more fun).
*These 'Field Trips' ARE INCLUDED in your camp fees!
Whitewater Rafting
Get eXtreme with some river rapid rafting.
Paintball
Fake guns, real people. Real fun.
Thrift Store Shopping
Ridiculous outfits make for ridiculous times.
Movie Time
The summer’s hottest flick may be coming out while you’re at camp; don’t miss it!
Skate Tour
If our private skateboard facility isn’t enough for you; take a skate tour of some of the NW’s hottest skate spots like Portland's DOS (Department of Skate).
