Beginners are welcome and encouraged although this workshop is for all levels!  We are only accepting a very small number of participants for this workshop so that instruction may be focused and personalized to YOUR level. You will come away from this workshop with marked increased skills!

As part of our new Urban Adventure Series we are proud to introduce "One Truth" Graffiti Art and Design Company founders, brothers Michael (Pase) and Tobias (Dr. Drax) Senn who are both highly recognised, talented and acclaimed professional Graffiti artists. We are incredibly stoked to have them as instructors for our Graffiti Street Art workshops. 

This 2 day workshop is the perfect introduction workshop to the world of Graffiti Street Art.  In very small groups you will work on canvases and walls with cans and special graffiti markers in the industrial studios of "One Truth" learning the basic skills and techniques. As with all camps, saftey is a high priority. We will be explaining the safety issues for using spray paints before we get started painting.

Learn to jump, flip, roll, spin, twist and dive off the ramps and trampolines into cavernous foam block pits at the totally insane new Freestyle Academy in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Then take your new skills up the mountain!  Our accomplished Freestyle instructors will be be working on building your own personal technique and style in the pipe, on the rails and in the air.  And wait.. that's not all... our program will also include breakdancing and learning to prepares your board/skis in the evening as well as more  "open session" time in the indoor base of the Academy.

First time park participants to more experienced riders are welcome at this camp.  Your riding level on piste must be intermediate to advanced.  This means you must be at least a strong boarder or skier on a red piste.

Our daily Freesytle Academy intsructors are superior athletes and dedicated professional trainers. They are  Swiss national gynmasts, amazing skateboarders, freeride bikers and accomplished freestylers.  They live to ride and love sharing their stoke to snowboarders and skiers and teaching them how to rip!

Swiss Adventure Camp's Pro freestyler Mege Kälin will also be spending time with us for a couple days!  Watch him hitting it in the video above!  BEAST!
