FAQ

Q: Is Summer Gravity Camp an overnight camp?

YES! We offer overnight camps for both our youth and adult camps. Our Youth Camp hotel partner is Tantalus Resort Lodge, and our Adult Camp hotel partner is the Aava Whistler.

Q: How do you pick the groups that people ride in?

We pick the groups based on ability level and if you want to ride with your friends. We want to make sure the groups are all at a similar ability level so no one is pushed beyond their comfort zone.

Q: Do I need to bring my bike?

You’re welcome to bring your own bike provided it will hold up to the demands of the Whistler Bike Park. Disc brakes are mandatory in the Whistler Bike Park.
We strongly recommend:
– DH bikes 
– Minimum 160mm travel
– DH casing tires

Q: Can we ride after the scheduled hours of camp?

Our day of riding starts at 10am and ends at 4pm. After 4pm, campers are no longer under our supervision. We do not allow riding unsupervised. 

Q: Can we go the front of the lift-line if the lines are long to board the chair lift?

Yes! At SGC we have lift-line priority, which means when the lines are long it does not effect us. This means more laps!

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

Please make note of our cancellation policy:

More than 4 weeks before camp starts: Refund, less $250 administration fee. Accomodation cannot be refunded once camp is paid in full. 

Less than 4 weeks before camp starts: Credit towards SGC 2025 with $250 Administration Fee applied. 

During Camp: There is no refund or credit if injured during camp.

Bikes Rentals: Can be cancelled and refunded up to 24 hours before camp starts.

Q: What hotel do Campers stay at?

Our youth campers stay at the Tantalus Resort Lodge,  Adult campers stay at The Aava Whistler. Both are located within walking distance from the bike park, and offer secure bike storage.  

Q: Are meals included?

Breakfast and lunch are included in all camps. For dinner, we encourage campers to go experience on of the village’s many establishments. Be prepared to budget $10-$25 per meal while in camp. 

After our day of riding is finished (4pm) campers are no longer under camp supervision. You’re welcome to explore all that Whistler has to offer at this time.
