Winter '14 sees the Snow-Camp Alpine Challenge return to the pistes of Morzine and the Portes du Soleil. Teams of four cross a 150km GPS tracked route on skis or snowboards, including a night hike, all to raise funds for the excellent work of Snow-Camp.

Who are Snow-Camp we hear you ask? We'll let them explain... 

"The young people that we work with live in urban environments, where crime, gang violence, drug and alcohol use and anti-social behaviour go hand-in-hand with low incomes, unemployment, poor quality housing, educational challenges and a lack of quality outdoor space.

We started Snow-Camp recognising that young people growing up in these environments had very low aspirations around education or employment, had a lack of opportunity to participate in any sport or leisure activity and were at a high risk of becoming involved in the negative activities that were surrounding them.

From our work we see that bringing young people together from different boroughs and using snowsports to challenge their attitudes about themselves and their peers has a hugely positive impact – changing attitudes and breaking down the geographical boundaries to friendships, creating a new sense of potential and self esteem and increasing aspirations to achieve in education, training and employment."
