How it Works

Camp runs during, spring, and summer breaks. Saturday camps and lessons are also offered periodically throughout the school year.

Campers meet at the base camp location, then travel to different surrounding parks each day and return in the evening. Drop off is at 8:30 AM. Pick up is at 5:00 PM. During camp skaters will learn how to fall safely , use skatepark etiquette and receive personalized lessons bases on their skill level. Campers will also learn photography and videography techniques as well as art skills like grip tape art and spray paint stencils.  Camp cost $200 per week. Saturday Camps are $20.
