2009 Campers acclaimed this camp as

"Our best camp, ever."

Our 2009 camp had 17 skateboarders.

We skated over 30 hours each.

We bandaged NO cuts or scrapes in the whole week.  Amazing! Yes, but true. (Maybe we were lucky.)

In our first 2010 camp we had 20 skateboarders and we finally applied our first bandage, though we all had bumps, scrapes and bruises.  So we now have had 1 bandage in over 1000 hours of camper skateboarding.  Amazing.

Well we did it again.  The second camp had 12 skateboarders and again we bandaged NO cuts or scrapes in the whole week.  Our record is now 1 bandage in over 1300 hours of camper skateboarding.

We work hard and with deep concern for safety as seen in this picture, from our 2009 camp.

May we continue to have such great kids who listen and react well to their coaches.

Rain, extreme summer heat, and camper fatigue can all lead to a video being shown at any time in our camps.  Sample videos used include: Sandlot, The Big Green, Kicking and Screaming. Like Mike, A Kid In King Arthur's Court, Rebound, etc.
