Last week we brought back one of our favorite contests, “Show Us Your Windells Stickers!” We heard from a lot of you, so thanks for taking the time to show us your sticker love. You guys have been busy, stickering just about everything in your path. Here are a few of our favorite entries:
Here it is. The seecond installment of our Employee Scavenger Hunt. Our staff is 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 keeps on trucking, our employees are building parks, taking classes, teaching lessons, and just about everything you can think of to pass the time until summer comes back into our lives.
Calling all Californians, Ski Dazzle is only 2 weeks away! If you have never heard, of or been to Ski Dazzle Los Angeles, well, you’re missing out. Every year, the L.A. Convention Center is taken over by the world of skiing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. For one jam packed weekend, you can get your season passes, get outfitted with all new discounted gear, or just get lost in the maze of awesomeness that is Ski Dazzle.
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.

Nicole McNulty of Windells Academy has been hard at work traveling and competing in Rev Tour, USASA events and most recently the Burton AM where she placed 3rd in half pipe! As one of our top students and upcoming athlete, Nicole has earned herself a role as one of our leading ladies. Nicole sat with us for an interview to talk about competitions, skating, the future, and what songs on her playlist get her stoked to ride.
As the Windells Academy English teacher, Catherine Coulon knows a thing or two about both literature and skateboarding. In the second part of our “Faculty Feature” we’d like to introduce you to the skateboarder, traveler and educator that is Catherine Coulin and share the experiences that have brought her to Windells Academy.

Entrepreneur, Lindsay Jo Holmes of MapleXO came to Windells Academy to share her story. Her message for the day: do what you love! Lindsay began recycling skateboards five years ago as a hobby. Today, MapleXO is on its way to becoming a well-established business. Lindsay stopped by to tell us about her journey and offered advice for students who were looking to create their own businesses in the future.
At the end of the day, if it was not for our sponsors donating unlimited amounts of product and promoting athlete appearances to Windells Camp, it just would,nt not be the same. High Fives for the industry! Below are a few videos of companies that have shown great support over the years. Obviously, there are more companies then listed below but we can not show them all?
