My Summer Plans

This summer I will be going to Mt. Hood Oregon in the US, for a freestyle skiing camp.
From what I have learned it's going to be incredible, I went to Whistler to do a similar camp in the Blackcomb glacier last year which was awesome. This year I decided to try Windells (the camp name) because of the outstanding reviews I've heard and the amount of pros that coach there. The campus is also amazing, it's basically ginormous skateboard park. They also do a skateboard, BMX biking, and snowboarding camp.

Windells as been going on for over 20 years, starting as a snowboarding only camp. Many snowboard, and apparel companies have been launched from this camp such as Bonfire Apparel, Rome snowboards, Nike 6.0, and skull candy headphones best seller of the year was windells camp.

Many famous extreme sport athletes have worked or camped at Windells, Tanner Hall 6 time x games champion sometimes hangs out at the coach residence in the summer months, Tony Hawk once stopped by for about a week, Ryan Sheckler camped at Windells for 5 years and trained there days before attending Slam City Jam in Vancouver at age 13, proceding to win a new truck that day. Sammy Carlson 2 time x games champion pretty much grew up at Windells, Shaun White, Snowboarding prodigy camped at Windells from age 6 to age 15, and at age 6 he was carried up the half pipe by the camps owner Tim Windell. 187 X games medalists have trained, worked or camped at Windells camp, and every athlete to medal from the US olympic team has worked, trained or camped at Windells camp. MTV has filmed 8 tv shows at Windells and 3 members from the Jackass movie have worked at Windells.

To conclude, I think when Windells campers, and staff call windells the funnest place on earth, they are serious. http://windells.com
