Apparently the weather was awesome, the park was insane, and overall vibe was pretty much as fun as it gets. But what do we know? It's not like we were there, but thankfully Ms. Mary Walsh was and breaks down all the details from the second session of fun at Windells.

It's almost the end of June and that means that Session 2 has just finished up at
Windells Snowboard Camp. The first month of summer has been flying by, as every
day has been packed full with fun activities on and off the hill. The Nike 6.0 Team
hosted Session 2, and with all of the park laps, skating, and Zombie Dodgeball the
riders were taking part in, it was hard to tell who was having the most fun: Mason
Aguirre, Sage Kotsenburg, Greg Bretz, Matt Ladley, and Ellery Hollingsworth, or all
of the campers they were hanging out with!
For a small taste of summer snowboard camp fun, here are the top six moments
from Session 2:
-The Nike crew hosted the first ever Windells Got Talent activity, where campers displayed a host of interesting skills. The youth of today is definitely multi-talented.
The Nike 6.0 Team channeled Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, judging acts that ranged from a devil stick performance, to pseudo-
choreographed 80's dancing, celebrity impressions, and finally, a brother and
sister who did a dance and then poured soda on each other's faces.
-The Capita Team came to camp, where they hung out with campers, participated in the chocolate milk race, signed autographs, and told everyone about their new team movie, Defenders of Awesome.
-Sage Kotsenburg held Sage-a-palooza with the campers, which included a multitude of birthday presents, cans of frosting, and prizes from Nike 6.0. Campers presented gifts to Sage, one of the best being a sock puppet that proclaimed he was the Sage's #1 fan.
-Niko Cioffi and the Gremlinz were running around camp, too, and created a brand new, awesome camp activity: Capture the Schwag. Later in the week, Dakota Whitaker hit the on-campus air bag on a snowskate. Twice. This was the first time in recorded history this has ever happened.
-Nike 6.0 took over the Windells park. Mason, Greg, and Matt were lapping the tow ropes, Ellery was shredding with campers, and Sage Kotsenburg somehow lost his shirt, but was able to continue boarding. Nike stoked out the campers by bringing Snapsportz (http://www.snapsportz.com/) on hill and in the skatepark to get tons of photos of everyone having a blast and learning new tricks.
-The Voleurz Team trekked to camp from Canada, too! Joe Schuster, Jake Black, Simon D'Artois, and Patrick King showed their 2011 Intersection winning video (http://vimeo.com/22721556) and along with a group of excited campers, debunked the "don't eat Pop Rocks and drink soda" myth.
-Session 2 over and out--there's still time to register for Session 7 in August, so head over to www.windells.com for more info, and come ride with us!
