At Snow Camp, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to experience the mountains and develop essential life skills through the power of snowsports. But none of this would be possible without the right gear – ensuring young people feel comfortable, prepared, and ready to take on new challenges on and off the slope. That’s where our incredible partners Dare 2b come in.
For all young people who progress on the advanced stage of the Snow Camp programme journey, having the right ski gear makes all the difference – not just for warmth and safety, but for confidence too. Dare 2b has been an unwavering supporter of Snow Camp for more than a decade, generously supplying essential outerwear for our young people and staff. From jackets and salopettes, to base layers and more, Dare 2b ensures that everyone on our programmes is fully equipped.
By helping Snow Camp remove the financial barrier of purchasing new kit annually, Dare 2b allow young people to focus on what truly matters – embracing the challenge of learning a new sport, stepping outside their comfort zones, and growing in confidence.
It also builds a powerful sense of community and pride for every Snow Camp young person who’s earned ‘their Snow Camp colours’.
One of our young people summed it up perfectly:
“Having the uniform means everything. It makes me feel like I finally belong somewhere.”
The right ski gear isn’t just about warmth; it’s about empowerment. When our young people arrive at the indoor or artificial slopes in the UK, or the snow-capped peaks of the mountains wearing professional-quality gear from Dare 2b, they immediately feel like skiers and snowboarders. This sense of belonging is crucial, particularly for those who may have never set foot on snow before.
“It feels great and like I am a part of something really exciting, and it makes me forever grateful.”
One young person shared how receiving their Dare 2b kit gave them a new sense of belief in themselves:
“To me, it means that I’ve done things I didn’t think I could do, but I’m really proud for being able to do this! If you told me three years ago that this would be where I am, I wouldn’t have believed you.”
Dare 2b doesn’t just provide gear; they share our commitment to making snowsports more accessible to all. Over the years, they’ve supported Snow Camp wholeheartedly, and rarely ask for anything in return. Why? Because they believe in the transformative power of what we do.
Their continued generosity is a testament to their dedication to young people and their futures. They understand that by equipping young people with the right gear, they’re not just preparing them for the snow; they’re helping them take steps towards brighter futures, filled with opportunity and personal growth.
As one young person put it:
“Thank you so much for providing my kit! It means everything to me. My family are beyond proud, and I officially feel like I’m part of the snowsports community!”
We are incredibly grateful to Dare 2b for their ongoing support and generosity. Their commitment to Snow Camp and the young people we support is invaluable.
