No Mount Hood Summer Ski Camp is much better. The food isn't that great at windells compared with Mount Hood Sumer Ski camp and it is a longer drive to get to the mountain if you go to windells. PM me if questions

deff dont go to either.  whistler camps are 10 times more fun.  you can go and walk around whistler (whistler is really cool) and the parks are way good too.  for food, you go to a bunch of different restaraunts around the village.  its pretty cool.  windells doesnt compare with any camp at whistler.

ill just settle this now. everyone who has gone to a camp will say go to a camp, everyone who hasnt will say its not worth it. its your money go if YOU think it is worth it.

High north ski camp is the shit. The park is awesome thanks to Mr. Bishop, and you are with skiers only which is dank as fuck.

I went last summer and i swear it was one of the best weeks of my life. Yes its worth the money. Having said that i've never been to a whistler camp but from what it looks like the parks there are better but windells has got a huge skate park, BOB, the road house and other sick stuff.

kind of depends on how you view money. would it be worth it for me? not a chance, i think it would be a big waste of 2k. not saying it wouldn't be fun, but you dont' have to be part of a camp to have fun.

go to Camp of Champs for sure
if money is a big issue and your 18, or with someone who is you could even do the pro camp there which is no coaching just access to the park and lunch, then you stay in staff housing; its about half the price for a week

i would say hcsc, haha but this is skiing.
i went to windells for two summers and i learned that it all depends on who your coach is. second year i had a pro as a coach (casey neefus, snowboarder) and like he didnt teach shit, and thats wut i hear from others too is that pros dont really teach they just are there to chill.
so basically it all depends wtu ur looking for. plus they made the sessions shorter by 2 days since i last went. and oh yeah add in money for food, cuz i dont think u want pb and j every lunch. digger dogs are super good and if u get to know the guy at the gril in the timby lodge u can get discounts.
id say go for it.
