Base Camp - the adventure training specialists

It’s all about you

It may sound corny, but you really are our priority. What makes Base Camp different from hundreds of ski and dive schools and not-for-profit governing bodies is that we’re here for you, and not the other way around.

We don’t just run courses on the side; we live and breathe our training portfolio, and the unrivalled standard of service that goes along with it.

World-class coaching from world-class athletes

Helping you to leave with the best technique, the highest qualifications and the most incredible memories of your experience possible, we offer more hours of coaching and smaller classes on our instructor courses than any of our competitors.

And this intense coaching isn’t given by just anyone – we handpick only the most highly qualified instructors, some of which have represented their countries at events such as the Olympics, the World Cup and the X Games. This approach has given us a proven track record of taking clients to the next level and transforming the way they ski, ride, fly or dive.  

Gain international qualifications

As all of our qualifications are practical, international and well-recognised, as soon as your course finishes you can begin work as an instructor. 

And if you’re not sure what you want to do, we’re here to offer career advice and even a sophisticated online recruitment service – helping you make your new skills into a new career. 

Enjoy expertly selected locations

Being in the right place at the right time is essential for you to have the most incredible adventure possible. Not only is each location set in spectacular, inspirational scenery, but we give you every chance to make the most of the natural elements that so often adventure sports rely.

Our snowsport locations, for example, are chosen for their reliable snow conditions, with 30 – 40 feet of powder every year, while our windsport courses take place in destinations hat have over 300 wind days every year.

An unrivalled experience                                     

We want you to have a great time, tell your friends all about us and come back yourself!

That’s why we’ve spent the last five years fine tuning our systems and courses to give you the ultimate adventure. Friendly, down to earth staff are based both in the UK and at every destination, dedicated to helping you make the most of your trip.

Of course, this is just the beginning. Although we take your training very seriously, this isn’t at the expense of comfort and fun. Good food and cosy accommodation has been especially chosen to give you the chill-out time you need after a day’s full-on adventure. And, once you’ve recharged your batteries, let the mischievous side in you emerge on Base Camp’s renowned social scene!

Tailor your trip

It goes without saying that exclusive trips and activities are included within all of our courses. However, with our extensive optional extras system – you’re free to make your adventure into whatever you want it to be.

Perhaps you want to extend your stay, upgrade your accommodation, or maybe take some time out from the slopes to learn some totally new skills – like how to shoot and edit films. Your trip of a lifetime is designed to be flexible, so, whatever you want, you can have.

It doesn’t cost the earth 

For the same price as a week lying on a sun bed, you could have a week of sports adventure with intensive coaching, small classes, central accommodation, plus activities and social events that you’ll actually want to get involved with. 

We know which we’d choose… And, as we’re fully financially protected, you can rest assured that your payment for your adventure is completely secure.

Stay connected

We hope your course is just the beginning of your Base Camp experience. Once your course has finished, we offer a whole range of services so that you can continue to develop and explore your new found passion.

Growing every day, the Base Camp community makes it easy for you to keep in touch with people you met on your course, and to meet hundreds more who share your passion for adventure.

As well as video and image sharing, unrivalled assistance with recruitment and access to discounted sports equipment, we also arrange some of the most eagerly anticipated and most talked about parties on the adventure sports scene.
