I can't praise the daily ski camp for kids highly enough. Our four year old came in having had some local lessons and could stop in snowplough but not turn. He's spent four days skiing with Alannah and come back skiing snowplough turns down the blue sections of the Lower Olympic run back down into the village! Our tiny skier was so happy to see Alannah on the second and third days of camp, she really made him feel comfortable skiing. The GPS tracker they put on their legs means you get to see everything they've done in a day. One day our wee one was even one on one with his instructor. Yes it's expensive, but it's also priceless to be able to get away skiing yourself knowing that your young one is being brilliantly looked after and learning to ski themselves.

Great ski school! We have had our children (now 6 and 9) in Whistler Kids about once or twice a year since they were both 4 years old. We are very impressed by how friendly, personable, and attentive the young instructors are. Our kids always have fun and ask us to bring them back to Whistler Kids as soon as we can. There are frequent rest breaks and snack breaks. Younger kids get breaks for doing crafts so they do not over tire. The school has laundry facilities on-site so they can manage "accidents". We get excellent individual feedback on how our kids are progressing.

We like the Blackcomb location the best because the camp is at the base of the mountain and the school has their own Magic Chair right next to the camp. My husband and I ski during the camp and get back in time to watch the kids ski back to camp for their final run of the day.

The Whistler location is nice too but all the kids have to take the gondola up to the actual camp at mid-station. That means that you if you arrive punctually before 3 pm to pick up your kids you will be treated to a seemingly endless procession of gondolas disgorging skiers of all shapes and sizes until your little ones arrive. If you have more than one child it will seem that much longer.

The Creekside facilities are also very nice and are conveniently located right next to the ski rental place. To get to the Creekside gondola and the beginner's camp with the magic carpet, you need to walk over the pedestrian bridge and across the plaza. The kids will do this at least twice a day as lunch is served only at the cafeteria inside the Whistler Kids building. Only the 3 and 4 year olds will get to ride on the trolley.

Our twins learned to ski with Robbie whom was EXCELLENT, as were all the staff! Whistler kids have a great system for teaching that I have not seen anywhere else. After two days they can put their own skis on, get off a chairlift by themselves and even get up after a fall on their own! It truly is amazing how much they improved! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to everyone! My wife and I skied with the boys again today and were just amazed at their progress!

My daughter absolutley loves skiing. It's her 3rd season, she's confident on greens and easy blues, and loves to ski a full day with occasionals breaks.

Today she had a 'full day' lesson with Whistler Kids, who she's skied with several times before. Things didn't seem right when I collected her, she had done a pile of colouring and was desperate to get onto the hill. I checked flaik (tracker) and she'd only skied 1/2 an hour all day!

What a let down!

Whistler Kids did an amazing job of engaging with the kids and teaching them skills to get them off the ground. My three kids had never been in the snow before and 2 tried skiing and 1 snowboarding. After 2 days they were confident to go down the green runs with my wife and I from the top of the gondola. It was fun for all. The instructors are kind and engaging and the process is easy. So happy!

WHISTLER KIDS 2 X 7 DAY ADVENTURE CAMPS.

We put our 7 year old in for 2 weeks and couldn't be happier. They do a great job making both the parents and the kids feel very comfortable and importantly its all about the kids having fun.

safety is a priority so the kids wear a GPS tracker and a colourful bib, to make sure they are safe and then you can track their runs etc on the web site at the end of the day. groups are a maximum size of 6 - your child will end up in a group with kids of similar age and ability.

If you are interested in your child improving their skiing then this is the place to go - if you just want them to have fun then thats fine as well.

Child friendly lunch is provided - and the instructors give you a well thought out daily download on how the day went - nothing is too much trouble and they can cater for any issues that come up. We have had poor experiences in France before with groups of 12 + and they ( temporarily) lost our 6 year old son but the Whistler Kids experience is 2nd to none - great resort - all round , lots for non skiers to do if you aren't a ski nut - great atmosphere and restaurants.

Highly recommend the whole Whistler Blackcombe resort.

We enrolled our 3 year-old in the Whistler Kids skiing program and were very disappointed. The program was set up to dropoff you child at 8 and pick-up at 3, During that time, the instructors were supposed to teach the basics of skiing. However, there were too many kids and not nearly enough instructors. It turned into more of a daycare than a ski school for kids--a very expensive daycare! In addition, the high child to instructor ratio seemed to present a safety issue. The school area was easy access to the public and people and snow mobiles drove through and around the kid areas on a regular basis. They give you a receipt to pick up your child and claim they will take it when you pick up your child to make sure it is your child, but didn't ask to see my receipt or take it when I left. The drop-off and pick up area for the kids was so crowded and under-staffed, I don't know how they keep track of anything; much less a grop of small children. Finally, during the day when the kids are up on the mountain, the office closes and they do not give you contact information for the school or the office personnel. This is a poorly run and, in my opinion, dangerous program that is more interested in volume of business than quality of care and instruction.

We just got back from a weekend in Whistler. Our 4 year old was in ski camp and our 9 year old in snow board camp. They loved it so much that we had to drag them back to the condo crying because they wanted to go up the mountain again since they had so much fun. The instructors were soooo sweet. I am truly impressed and will definitely be back!

We had our 2 children (6 & 12yo) in the school for 5 days this week. The school is outstanding, the kids are well managed and and love the place. They learnt heaps. I recommend it without hesitation.

We NZers. We are very fusy about our kids. Felt very safe.

My family went to Whistler in December. We put our kids in lessons at Whistler Kids for one day. My kids had never skied before.

Whistler Kids exceeded our expectations. The instructors were knowledgable, professional and so organized.
