SKATE WILD TRIPS

Through these trips we offer opportunities to learn about the outdoors and how to feel more comfortable in wild spaces. The program offers camping, cooking over a fire, hiking to lakes, waterfalls, hot springs, survival skills and of course skateboarding. We visit locations where we can both skateboard amazing parks but still get off the beaten path and get into nature. Our instructors are all skateboarders and have been working in outdoor youth development for over a decade. This is truly a one of a kind experience. This program is catered to teens so participants must be 13 and up. We provide any equipment or gear you may need for camping. We are a 1 to 2 staff to camper ratio program so your child will get an amazing experience and mentorship from our highly experienced staff. Additional information, waivers and packing lists will be sent to each participant prior to leaving for the trip. Come skate wild with us!
