Every summer, EA sends eligible kids up to Element YMCA skate camp for a life-changing experience in the mountains.  This past summer, we captured scholarship recipients, Lamont Holt and Rene Serrano’s journey through camp.  It is incredible what these kids have to say about this experience.  Check out the video from this unforgettable week.

Elemental Awareness teamed up with WoodCamp out in Poland this past summer to start the first EA wilderness program in Europe.  Kids from all over Poland came to Element’s WoodCamp to skateboard and learn about the wilderness. Element Europe Team riders Pirkka Pollari and Phil Zwijsen were on hand to skate with the kids.  Check them out in the new Element Europe Team video, “Get busy Living”.
