Session 3 has been prime on the mountain with bluebird skies and warm weather to make lapping the Windells private park every camper’s dream. Under the sunny skies we met up with pro snowboarder Brandon Cocard coaching the snowboard boys and under his recommendation found 14 year old camper Sam from Londonerry, Vermont whose goal was to have fun on the mountain. We think he met his goal with a fun day like today!

How are you liking Windells so far?
Sam: It’s amazing, everything is amazing. I won a bunch of free stuff in the Rome Shred contest today and won a bunch of stuff in the Bon Bon vs Salomonder.

What tricks were you pulling in the Rome contest today?
Sam: Nothing to hard, grabbing my slides and grinds.

Who is your coach this session and how do you like the coaching?
Sam: Brandon Cocard is my coach and he’s awesome! He’s one of my favorite pros and the fact that he’s coaching me is even better.

What tricks are you working on this session?
Sam: I’m working on a bunch of rails, bunch of slides and grinds.

Were you riding your own board today or did you take out a demo board?
Sam: I demo’d a whole Burton setup, the Burton Ration. It’s amazing. Yesterday I demo’d the Salomonder which was the best board I’ve ever ridden. I’ll probably take another board out tomorrow or the rest of the week.

What activities have you done on campus?
Sam: I’ve done a bunch of knockout and today I’m doing the donut eating contest. Just skating in the parks and everything.

Any shoutouts?
Sam: Londonerry Vermont and Stratton Mountain!

Congrats to Sam, keep ripping it up this session and having fun with Brandon on the slopes! Stay tuned for more campers of the day as we highlight ski, snowboard and skate campers at Windells this summer!

Session 3 at Windells Camp is underway and today campers hit the slopes to check out the private park that Windells has to offer at Timberline. Ski coach Collin Collins was with his campers hitting the main jump line in the park and that’s where we met 17 year old camper Kolton from Idaho Falls, Idaho who is our first Camper of the Day for session 3.

Why did you choose to come to Windells Camp?
Kolton: I’ve been wanting to come here for years, just seeing all the videos on newschoolers.com. Seeing all the hype and hearing about it from friends, I just finally got the chance to get up here. It’s sick.

How do you like camp so far?
Kolton: I love it, there’s so much to do. You’re never bored and there’s a ton of nice people here…it’s just a good time.

What activities have you done on campus?
Kolton: Played dodgeball, doing a lot of tramping and skating and blading. Just trying to check everything out.

How do you like the coaching?
Kolton: Collin Collins is my coach and he’s a rad dude, he’s pretty sick. He’s gonna help me learn some new tricks…hopefully tomorrow or the day after.

What do you want to work on this session?
Kolton: I’m really hoping I can get some double flips going and maybe some flips off of rails. Work on different grabs and spins.

Thanks Kolton for starting session 3 off! We hope to see you back on the snow dialing in those tricks! Stay tuned for more Campers of the Day from session 3 at Windells Camp!
