DAYS ON HILL

Get the most out of your coaching group!

At the mountain, you can ride or ski with a group of both guys and girls, or if you’d prefer, you can sign up for a girl-only group and get your shred on with like-minded females. Both options offer opportunities for learning and gaining confidence on hill. It’s good to have choices and Windells makes sure you can progress however you’re most comfortable. Windells’ coaching staff is made up of some of the best snowboarding and skiing coaches in the industry and is 100 percent committed to helping you.

AFTERNOONS AT CAMP

Tons of activities to choose from!

After you come down from the hill, there are tons of activities at camp to take part in. Girls can participate in any of the activities that are also open to boys, but in addition, Windells offers many GIRLS-ONLY activities, too.

Traditional camp activities like arts and crafts, volleyball and dodge ball run every afternoon. You can also drop in on yoga classes, go thrifting at shops in Portland,  or learn to knit your own signature beanies. Make T-shirts with Betty Rides or channel your inner artist and paint a skate deck to take home. This is only a sample of the tons of things there are to do at camp in the afternoons and evenings. There’re also Sponsor Night activities and new things to do featured all the time!

SKATEBOARDING AND BMX

Improve your skills or try for the first time!

Want to brush up on your skating? You can thrash the bowls in BOB or fine tune your skills on the new cement set up in the middle of campus with the Ladies’ Progression Skate Clinics that are held every day, with levels for beginners all the way up to experienced skaters. If you have never skated or rode BMX before but you want to learn, Windells has you covered. The Demo Lab has any number of bikes and skateboards you can use to learn how to push around, drop in and land your first ollie or bunny hop.

DEMO LAB

DEMOS OF WOMEN’S SPECIFIC SNOWBOARD AND SKI GEAR INCLUDED WITH YOUR SESSION!

The Demo Lab has a ton of next season’s snowboards, boots, bindings and skis to try that’s specific to the ladies. Sample brand new gear from Rome, Salomon, Ride, Burton and others that will fit every need, from riding rails to getting out of the pipe. The Demo staff is trained to help you put together a setup that works.

LODGING

After a long day of shredding at the mountain, making T-shirts, play dodgeball or skate around campus. Relaxation is key. Lodging is totally girl-friendly with female counselors and all-girl cabins sponsored by brands like Betty Rides.

Women have undeniably benefited from sessions at Windells and you keep the list going, gaining confidence and skills on the mountain as well as having fun and making friends at camp. Everyone is committed to making sure the best part of your summer is your time spent at camp. Sun’s out, the snow is soft and everyone is stoked — get out here to the “funnest” place on Earth!
