Introducing, Tim Windell – visionary, mentor, coach and world champion snowboarder.  Check his credentials:  Tim Windell is a founder and leader in the action sports community going all the way back to 1986,when began dominating the unexplored territory of snowboarding.  His efforts to push the evolution of snowboarding resulted in him brining home numerous medals from around the world. In total, he grabbed eight National Titles, stood second overall in the 1989 and 1990 World Cup Tour of Snowboarding, placed second in the 1991 World Championships, and was designated to be the voice of North American Snowboarders from 1987 through 1993.  Tim remains an active member of the USASA board, the largest snowboarding organization in the world, and is one of only five voting members, meaning his vote counts.

After a few years of constant travel and competition, Tim decided to take a break, and it was at this juncture in 1988, when he established the summer snowboard programs at Whistler.  These snowboard programs were very successful, but Timwanted more.  After careful consideration, he realized Mt. Hood was a better fit for his camp, and was quite simply a superior venue.  The proximity of the Mt. Hood to the Portland International Airport and the 365 days a year of snow, provided the perfect platform for a snowboard camp.  With over a decade of successful snowboard camps under his belt, Tim decidedto purchase the Shamrock Motel.  This laid the framework for the canvas of what WindellsCamp is today.  

Over the past 12 years, the facilities at Windells Camphave progressed and adapted according to the needs of the campers.  BOB (Building Out Back) was created in 2004, providing year round training facilities makingweather conditions seemingly irrelevant.  This provided athletes the ability to skate indoors and have full use of the trampolines and thefoam pit.  Following the creation of BOB, came the formation of the Concrete Jungle which was added to campus in 2006.  This essentially turned the entire campus into a giant skate park, with features ranging from interconnected bowls, to rolling hills of concrete, to rails weaving in and out of the campus landscape. The addition to Windells Camp this year was the purchase and installation of a private liftat Timberline.  For the campers this means less time walking and more time on the snow!  Windells ability to be in a constant state of progression is why it has become a global leader in the continuous development of action sports camp facilities and coaches
