Unique aspect: Windell's camp is small, more personable, and enforces counselor supervision. Their coaching staff is top-notch and the coaching occurs all afternoon, not just a portion of it.

Inside Line: "Can you say skate ramp?! The best ramp I've seen is located at this camp. It consist of a five foot mini-ramp with a spine, 1/2 wooden 7 ft. high bowl, variety of tombstones, and a big fat rollover in the middle of the ramp. How's that for you're skating pleasure.

Fortunately, Windell's Camp is "family-style." The camp has a warm and fuzzy feeling to it. Along with that personable feeling it features some incredible coaching. Tom Nordwall and Crystal Aldana stand out, as do their shouting tips to campers. You'll have a blast at Windell's.
