Campers don't have to take themselves too seriously in order to benefit from this skills camp — we will still have lots of fun! They will enjoy working hard and challenging their existing self-beliefs in order to improve their skills. This camp will focus on 1-v-1 skills while hosting a 3-v-3 tournament daily and ending with a 5-v-5 game. Each day we will track the progress of each camper so they can have an overall understanding of how they can continue to grow. Certificates and awards will be given to participants at the end of the camp.

All skaters need a board, helmet, and pads to participate in the camp. Let's skate!
