Our summer camp employs approximately 130 staff members.
Our staff is certified in First Aid, CPR, USOC Safe Sport, and is selected based on their relevant work experience, qualifications, maturity level, reliability, enthusiasm and overall ability to provide a positive and supportive environment for our campers. Applicants pass pre-employment drug screening and agree to random testing throughout the season. Background checks and motor vehicle record checks are also performed on staff. We are very proud of the fact that over 80% of our staff return each year. All High Cascade youth camper grounds are alcohol, drug, and tobacco free.

Coaches
The High Cascade coaching staff have one goal during the summer: to make sure our campers have the best time possible. From 9:00 – 1:00 your coach will be your group’s private tour guide, shred professor, life coach and all around support system while on the hill. Off hill you’ll meet up for skate sessions, trampoline time, video analysis and assorted fun.

Counselors
The High Cascade Counselors are an impressive bunch. Hand picked from literally hundreds of resumes, the counselor crew makes sure your time at camp is second to none. From waking you up in the morning, keeping you honest with the sunscreen, driving your shuttles, running activities, making sure you remember to eat, and flipping the lights out switch at the end of the night: counselors have “fun-safe living” down to an art form.

Adult Camp
Although our Adult Camp coaches change year to year, hand picked from our roster of coaches, guest pros and industry leaders – the guiding light of this program has remained the same for years. Currently holding the record for the most consecutive summers working at camp – Ms. Wright has adjusting the classic camp experience to the adult specifications down to a science.

Demo / Camp Store
With a demo center full of next years boards, boots and bindings – our demo team needs to be a well-oiled machine of screw turning camper customer service. Spending their winters on the slopes of the world’s greatest mountains and the floors of the world’s finest shops, this crew is a knowledge pool deeper than Lake Wikipedia.

Facilities
Fact: when over two hundred snowboarders are in one place for more than 10 minutes – things start breaking. Although our staff of 100+ are among the most respectful humans on earth and our 1000+ campers per summer are superbly well behaved, things still go wrong. When a toilet just can’t deal, or the Dodgeball fence takes a pounding – this is the crew who comes to the rescue.
Michael Archer
Video Department
If something happens at camp, chances are these guys can prove it. From video shoots, to web-edits to the Session Videos, this team of AV nerd / artsy pants filmers can be found with one eye in the view finder and one hand on a mouse all summer long

Colin Woodward
Photo Department
Brush your hair, smile and say “cheese”. From arrival day ID photos, to camper shoots to all around memory capturing, the photo department is the closest camp gets to having a paparazzi.
Matt Robke
Health Department
Priority number one in our health department is injury and sickness prevention. That said, it turns out that even in a perfect world people still get bumps, bruises, sniffles and scrapes. When these inconvenient truths come to pass, our top notch team in the HCSC Health Department is there to spring into action.

Year-Round Staff
These folks work year round in the office planning, prepping and coordinating our summer efforts. When June 7th rolls around and our giant staff is reunited, they are constantly amazed at the caliber of people HCSC attracts and are honored to have the opportunity to work with the fine people listed above.
