I have the money to go out to any camp at this time but is it worth spending all my money on? Is the money worth the progression thats basically what im asking.

i would say yes, because you are skiing and the more you ski the better you get!

I went 6 years ago, I was terrible, I didn't learn hardly anything. It was still one of the best experiences of my life. Highly suggested.

yes, but when you're there, go ape-shit. You'll have all summer to heal any injury so if you spend all that money, you better try shit

instead of camp, i just went with this program to New Zealand. I skied for 3 weeks in great BC and parks and all that. no coaching, but i just had a great experience and learned a lot from myself and just trekking around. plus you just stay in a house overlooking a beautiful lake and all of queenstown, and the Remarkable mountain range is in our back yard. i also did a lot of other stuff like bungy and paraglide and all that.

I would make this decision yourself or with family, etc. I wouldn't rely on NS to tell you to go get broke but summer ski camps are the shnizz and are a super way to improve.

I think camp is worth it.  But if I was going to spend that type of money for summer skiing.  I would take a trip to the Southern hemisphere.  There is a chance of powder, full mountain is open, and you can get some really good parks, not that Windells or COC have bad parks, in fact they have REALLY good parks.  If I had the choice.  I would go to the Southern hemisphere.

Back in the day as a parent funded camper it was the most awesome shit ever. You could set up a baller ass vaca for how much it costs though.

I went to High North for my first and only time 5 summers ago and it was the greatest time ever.  Skiing in the summer is the greatest experience ever.  If its sunny its amazing if its raining its awesome and its its snowing you get to say you shredded pow in June/July.  I dug at Momentum 3 summers ago and that was a riot.  Skiing with pros is one thing but the experience of seeing the glacier bumping in the summer is another.  Sign up for MOMENTUM and I might be able to coach you

yeah, it's definitely worth it. it's not like your on your own to progress, you've got coaches that are helping you learn new tricks. And plus, it's soo much fun too. I go to whistler for camp every summer. if you're looking for different camps, try google, and if you're looking at whistler, here's a bunch of different camps .
