Here's an inspiring story of camper Livia's recent journey.
Firsrly, everyone who knows Livia from camp will agree that she's one of the kindest and happiest young ladies to ever grace us with her presence at Core.
Livia took some very bold steps, quit her job and is following her dreams.
It all started four years ago when Livia joined us for a week in March 2022, with about 10 days of snowboarding experience. Whistler was a big change from her Ontario mountains. We had a blast and she improved a ton.
In February 2023, Livia joined us for 2 more weeks (riding with coach Jordan) and absolutely crushed it. Her plan was starting to form.
A few months later, Livia reached out to me with the plan to join us in 2024 for 6 weeks and to take the CASI level 1 instructor course.
An amazing 6 weeks, which brought her to a whole new level, lots of new friends and she aced her instructor course!
Last fall, Livia was offered a job in the North Island of Japan as a snowboard instructor. She then made the very big decision to quit her job of 5 years as a software developer. She took the job. I'd like to think that our chat about this helped her decision.
Great snow, good food, lots of Core Camp friends visiting her, new experiences, and a very good decision to change up her life for a winter. We're so stoked for her.
Back in Canada, Livia is now planning to join us this winter for a few more weeks and to get her CASI level 2. Her plan is to eventually go back to Japan (or another snowy spot) for more snowboarding, instructing, and fun..!
Livia - we love your lust for life and for taking some big, unknown steps into something new. We can't wait to ride with you again this winter. 😊
We love that we're part of your journey .!
