What can I expect from a full day of camp?
Just like with every program we offer, those participating in a Skate The Foundry Summer Camp can expect an experience tailored to their skill levels and their needs that is full of fun and learning!
We will start our days with a Morning Meeting and a stretch so all of the campers can get to know each other (and us!) while getting warmed up for the day. We will also cover important topics such as etiquette in the skatepark and the skating goals we hope to accomplish both short and long term
From there the day will take off with activities such as group skates (split by age and/or skill level) where campers will have the opportunity to learn new skills from our instructors together as well as less structured free skates where campers can practice what they have been working on as a whole group.
Interspersed throughout workshops, skaters can expect breaks for lunch and snacks to fuel up for more learning and fun (please note that food is not provided, please plan accordingly!).
Summer Camps at Skate The Foundry go beyond skating! Additional experiences potentially include trips to the Art Museum as well as art based workshops to further flex your kid’s creative muscles.
