Have you ever heard of Inspired Media Concepts? For those who haven’t, Inspired is a media group stared by the legendary skier Tanner Hall and filmmaker Eric Iberg. They make a plethora of webisodes ranging from the B&E Show to the Tanner Hall Connection Show, and they just so happened to sponsor Session 4 of Windells Camp. Windells tries to have a different sponsor for each session of the summer, some ski and some snowboard, to stoke up the campers even more while they have the time of their lives at “The Funnest Place on Earth!”

The Inspired Media crew was not only on the glacier all week but they also came to the Windells Campus and used the two Olympic flybed trampolines to train while not on snow.

In addition to Inspired Week, a few members of the US Olympic team came to train in the rigorously up-kept superpipe. And along with their exploits in the pipe, they were also seen training in the park, which may have something to do with slopestyle being added to the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia as well.

Windells also hosted the Bonfire Pipe 2 Pipe event both on and off the hill, which gave the campers who snowboard and skateboard a chance to compete for product and cash prizes.

Camp activities are kept fun by the counselors who participate with the campers in various off-hill events, which is a good way for the campers to get to know the counselors other than just their own. Campers also get the chance to pie their counselors or coaches in the face with some whipped cream, which is always a highly anticipated and messy event during each and every session.
