Snowboarding camps can teach you basic and advanced techniques. These camps can be held year round and are popular among students during their summer vacation. The snow machines and altitude help keep snow on the ground in warmer months. Most camps will likely feature several downhill courses with varying difficulties--more advanced boarders can take advantage of practicing on obstacles including rail grinds and ramps. Some snowboarding camps feature a half pipe or pipe course. Even if you don't know any tricks, instructors can help you attain that skill level.
