High Cascade has two different types of lodging: The Lodge and The Chalets. The Chalets are large mountain-style vacation homes, and The Lodge is a 3-story authentic 1947 Mt. Hood ski lodge/bunk house.
The Chalets
Do your research, and you'll find that our Chalet accommodations is the best snowboard camp lodging out there. Our deluxe mountain style vacation Chalets sleep approximately 10 - 16 campers, with approximately 2-8 campers per bedroom. Chalets are set up like 'home' or a vacation condos. There are several different Chalets around camp and campers are grouped into Chalets based on age and sex (i.e. boys and girls are do not share Chalets).
See a virtual tour of an example of one of our many different chalets here.
The Lodge (only available to boys ages 13-17)
The Lodge is the epicenter of camp life and there's never a dull moment here. This is where everyone groups up each morning to go ride, do afternoon activities, see shows, BBQ's etc. Out the front door is the skate park, and out the back door is Trampoline Land. This giant Lodge sleeps up to 60 boys. Each bunk-room sleeps between 12 and 24 boys. The main floor is the common lounge hang-out area, upstairs are the bunk rooms, and downstairs are the bathrooms, and lockers and the Demo Center. Put yourself in the Lodge and you'll be in the center of it all.
Location, location, location
Whether you're in the the Lodge or in a Chalet, you'll be close to all things good at camp. Our camp boundaries are essentially a 2 block radius, so you'll never be far from anyone, or anything, at anytime. Check our interactive map to get a feel for the lay-of-the-land.
Live-in counselors
Responsible adult counselors live in both the Lodge and Chalets. Can't remember when dinner is? Don't know what time dodgeball starts? Your counselor is like your Mom/Dad/big brother/big sister/friend/mentor during your time at camp. Hand picked, and screened from hundreds of applicants, our counseling staff is the best in the business. Certified in First Aid and CPR, criminal background checked and drug tested. The chosen few who become High Cascade Counselors are an impressive bunch and we choose them because we know you'll find them to be pretty darn likeable and helpful as well.
FOOD
Three meals a day are included with everyone's session. Each morning we serve up a hot breakfast buffet, with staples like eggs, pancakes, waffles, bacon, and sausage. There is also a full cereal bar, fruits, yogurt, bagels, breads and muffins. Before or after breakfast you'll pack your lunch to take with you snowboarding. We don't want to take up your precious on-snow time having to leave the snow for lunch, so instead you'll have a snow picnic with your coach and group. Lunch offerings for your packing delight include peanut butter and jelly, a variety of lunch meats, cheeses, various sandwich toppings, chips, pretzels, fruits and granola bars. Our dinner buffet each night offers a variety of choices to ensure everyone walks away full and satisfied. BBQs, tacos/burrittos, pasta, pizza, stir-frys, and Thanksgiving Dinner are all camp staples. Our kitchen is equipped to handle nearly any and all food allergies and dietary restrictions, including 'picky eater condition'.
The K-Unit (aka – Kitchen Unit)
Our kitchen unit makes the Iron Chefs look like a high school home economics class. This tight knit group of skilled culinary artists will not only shred lettuce and cheese for taco night, but can be see shredding their faces off on everything in the park. If you think their roast beef looks good at dinner you should see them serving it up off the super kicker. The K-Unit is so serious about what they serve up they will turn your strawberry lemonade into strawbizzle lemoneezy.
