A big part of the fun of doing The Camp of Champions is progressing what a summer camp should be. The other fun part of COC is sharing the magic of Whistler with the world. To make both of those things a reality we are launching the
COC iPhone App. Check news feeds, photos and videos all from your iPhone. The app was built by Adam Sullovey, one of our super talented friends, who makes ones and zeros into magic.
App details inside,
It's been about 8 months in the making and after more than a few "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if it did this" changes and a couple or three "Hey, you need to change this" from Apple, to get the final approval for the app, the app has finally launched in the Apple App Store. The app is free and you can use it to keep up with news feeds from Pinkbike, Transworld SNOWboarding, Newschoolers and Whistler Blackcomb as well as the Camp of Champions.
There are sections on the app where you can check out all the COC videos and photos. The app will update every time we add new content. As we add new photos and videos every day when camp is on, it will be a great way to keep your riding stoke when you are sitting on the bus or on the cross country drive or flight to camp.
A cool feature of the COC App uses the GPS feature of the iPhone. The "Maps" feature has everywhere you need to know about at COC and in Whistler already marked. When you come to camp and want to know where to meet us at "The Dorm" where to go to eat, where's the skatepark, or see the top of A-Line on a map, you can just click on the "Maps" feature, and check on the preloaded location pins. We will be adding more spots as we get closer to camp and as the different parts of the bike park open. Eventually we will have the entire bike park mapped on the COC app so you can see where the best jumps are, where your favorite lines are and of course where the GLC patio is so you can meet us for lunch. You can also see where "The Compound" is so you can meet us to session our mulch pit and dirt jumps.
To find the COC App in the iPhone App Store, type "Camp of Champions", into the search field.
