~ May 25, 2010 ~
As if getting to go to snowboard camp wasn’t enough, RED and Windells have just teamed up to give away a free RED helmet to the next 120 kids who register for a camp session.
It’s easy…aspiring campers just need to grab their parents’ credit card (okay, ask them first…) and sign up for a camp session at windells.com. And if they are one of the next 120 riders to register, they’ll get to pick out a free RED helmet when they arrive at camp.
Being a camper at Windells is pretty sweet. With parks extending up to a mile long during the summer and two private lifts accessing their terrain, Windells continues to be a leader in park innovation, variety and creativity. The jumps, jibs and halfpipes are legendary at Windells, which is also known for attracting the world’s most talented snowboarders and freeskiers. In fact, every US Olympic snowboard medalist to date has been a camper at Windells over the years.
With the latest in lightweight materials, rider-driven features and easily customizable designs, RED helmets make protection easy. Register at Windells now before the free helmets are gone. Summer is coming and camp is calling.

Thousands of New Foam Blocks
We are proud to announce the arrival and installation of New Foam Cubes for Windells Indoor Foam Pit. This new foam combines scientifically proven polyurethane’s with other top secret fibers giving campers a state of the art foam pit experience.
Quote from a Windells Academy Student ” Did you see the new foam? Its like landing in a Recliner!”
Windells Academy: Summer additions!
Ever thought what it would be like to be at Windells ALL summer? Not only is this possible, you can also complete school work while youre here, helping you to get through high school (or college) faster, and on your way to fulfilling your dreams! Who says Summer School has to be a punishment? Windells staff has been working hard adding a TON of crazy awesome new features on campus over the past months. Biggest of all, everyone here has been working hard on creating the first ever GREEN dry slope, including a 2 hit ramp to a bag jump, as well as a jib line. The snowflex is soon to be added but it will be completed for session 1! There are going to be 4 or 5 jib options down the run. This is going to compliment the snowflex BagJump very well. Now campers will be able to dial in rail and jump tricks on campus, and then take it to the snow the next day! This is a big step forward for Windells, always progressing!
Why is it Green You ask?
The slope of the Hill is the slope, limited structure.
The frame used for Jib Slope is 100 percent recycled galvanized Steel
The rails & boxes used are scrap pieces from old Windells features re-birthed
The supports and railings are previously downed trees
What else will Windells Campus offer this summer?
The concrete jungle has almost tripled in size, resulting in 55,000 square feet in skate (unlike any other campus!). We have added a new springless trampoline to campus, which proven to be one of the safest trampolines on the market. With a design that eliminates the causes of 83% of trampoline injuries with its unique soft-edge™ jumping system. There is also soon to be all new foam in the world famous B.O.B foam pit! All and all, Windells IS the place to be this summer.
Make sure to check out Windells Academy summer school, and start your track into an amazing life in this amazing industry.

Silas Baxter-Neal digs the Concrete Jungle
Silas Baxter-Neal has been at camp over the course of the past week doing some filming on all of the different skateparks we have here. He got to skate the new Concrete Jungle and had this to say about it, “this is the best skatepark I have ever skated.” Silas has skated a lot of parks, so that’s a pretty heavy statement coming from him. Thanks, Silas!
