im still deciding between COC and windells. Both I heard great things about, but that isn't the issue. The issue is this:

Do I book a flight then book camp, or book camp then flight?

how does signup work (its a little confusing, or maybe im just on too many drugs)....thanks

+K for good answers (if you need K+ to give good answers your value to the community is questionable)

Definitely book camp first, then flight, as if the camp is full for whatever reason, you're not stuck with a flight. Don't quote me on this, but there is maybe some sort of camp cancellation insurance you can get, which means if you can't get a flight, you don't lose the camp money?

yeah i agree, book camp then flight. If you book camp, but can't get the flight you want, you can then always book an earlier flight, and bum around Whistler village if needs be.

Agreed.  I'd also go a try to find the cheapest flight by setting up a daily notification from Kayak.com to track the airfare.  I was just up in southern BC doing some heli-skiing and got a roundtrip ticket for only 300 dollars from the NYC Area to Calgary.

it's best to check into both at the same time. Give us a shout and we'll let you know if there is space in the camp session you want, then check on flights. Once you've got what you're looking for, then book your camp and your flight.

We do offer cancellation insurance, but thats to give you security and peace of mind if you get hurt, skating, rollerblading, biking or doing whatever before camp starts and can't make it, you can just give us a shout and we'll refund your whole camp fee, minus the cost of the cancelation insurance ($150 CAD for an 8 day session).

If you did book a camp and then have an issue with flights, we have no problem moving your registration to any other camp session that you can get a flight for. it's all about making your life easy!
