Join us for an exciting week of skateboarding at Let’s Skate’s hands-on summer camp! This 3-hour-per-day camp is open to all skill levels and offers a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where kids can grow their skills and confidence on a skateboard.

Beginners will learn the essentials—how to set up their board, proper stance, pushing, balance, and riding techniques. More advanced skaters will have the chance to level up with tricks like ollies, dropping in, and other intermediate skills based on their ability.

Each day includes structured warm-ups, guided instruction, games, one-on-one coaching, and plenty of free skate time to practice and play.

Skateboards, helmets, and pads are all provided, but campers are welcome to bring their own gear if they prefer. Campers should also bring a water bottle and a snack each day.

Whether your child is stepping on a board for the first time or looking to refine their skills, this camp is the perfect place to learn, progress, and have fun with new friends!
