Finding Somewhere To Live
Whistler Adventure School recommends booking short-term accommodation at HI Hostel Whistler or a similar option before arriving, as housing can be difficult to secure in advance. HI Hostel Whistler prioritizes WAS students for its Work-For-Stay program, which helps ease the transition during the first month or two. Students can offset accommodation costs by working approximately 10 hours per week, with an additional 10 paid hours, reducing financial pressure while settling into Whistler and beginning their studies.
