Windells price's are through the roof! Holy fuck how do they expect a teenager to pay for themselves to go anymore?! It's 1950 a sesh + air fare + baggage fee's. Thats going to come out to somewhere around $2500. Windells is geared to kids and not every kid is going to get handed $2500 by their mommy or daddy. That doesn't make sense to me how a kids camp is priced so high because it's probably turning a lot of kids off like me

yes or that is why alot of people don't go, mommy and daddy don't want to pay 2500 for their kid to ski for a week or two

Would you suggest there's a less expensive camp elsewhere? Please tell me because I'd love to know.  The camp has to be able to offer the same if not more!!!! go.

there's always going to be the rich spoiled kids that have mommy and daddy pay for everything.

thats how you become pro these days.

while there are a good amount of beginners, there were certainly a bunch of campers killing it this past summer.

MHSSC is the best. it's not sketchy at all and so great

two weeks at MHSSC = 1 week at windells, anyway you spin it, two weeks on snow are better than one. i'm doing the camperstaff program for 4 weeks at mhssc this summer. you should come out

You have to realize the price it costs to rent out a lane in the summertime, including grooming fees, private rope tows and the cost of lift tickets. The price only went up a small amount and this is only because of all of the additions that are included at camp. Concrete jungle, bag jumps, indoor skatepark, on-hill features, private rope tows, better food, additions to the cabins, just to name a FEW. 

It's really not cheap to run camp, especially a camp with so much liability!  If you want an awesome time go to Windells and you can do anything and MORE then any other summer ski camp.  When you're not skiing, you're skating or jumping on the trampolines, running around doing activities, bmxing, or just socializing with everyone.

I did yard work all summer and paid like 250 for it and the rest was my bday present, It also only cost 850 bucks when I went on 2002 and my dad and friends dads drove us down and picked us up so no airfare. Best week of my adolescent life though!
