Our employees are amazing. They come from all over the country to live life in Mt. Hood with Windells Camp. Once August starts to slip away, they all eventually have to go back to reality and back to their roots. As winter settles in, our employees are building parks, taking classes, teaching lessons, and just about everything you can think of to pass the time until summer rolls around.
Winter Camp is so close we can almost taste the piles of powder and the overflowing hot chocolate. We know that spending time at home is nice, but we also know that spending time at Windells on Mt. Hood is a little nicer. Just in case you missed it, here is some footage from one of our banners years here in Oregon.

In case you missed the Session 8 skate edit, here it is for you now! For one week, campers were lucky enough to have the Concrete Jungle as their home base. Every day is a good day when you wake up to over 50,000 square feet of concrete in your backyard. Watch as these skateboard campers travel through Oregon, visiting all the best skate parks in the Northwest.
Check out the recap videos from session 6!
Six down, one to go, and still riding down to the parking lot. What a summer it’s been. Session 6 couldn’t have been any better. We had a ton of fun riding the park and sunny skies everyday.
The Surface team dropped in at Windells for skiing, skating, games, and even tie dying.
Session 6 Skate… so much skating.
