Want to learn snowboarding and skiing?
The Smiley News team visited the Snow Camp charity facility in Hemel Hampstead. The Snow Camp team teaches underserved young people how to ski and snowboard as a platform to help them build confidence, forge positive relationships and develop new skills.
The charity introduces 13 to 21 year olds from London and the nearby areas to snow sports.
Angus Macellan, the London Programme Manager says: “Our focus obviously is on snow sports, but we do lots of wellbeing work, life skills work, employability skills with all the young people.”
