WELCOME

Thank you for considering Element YMCA Skate Camp as your summer destination. It is a true skateboarder’s paradise. For 25 years, Element YMCA Skate Camp has enriched campers lives by providing a safe environment that encourages friendship, communication, laughter, personal growth, and of course, skateboarding. Our wholesome program provides a variety of activities throughout the day to ensure that there is never a dull moment at Skate Camp.

Each action packed day will be spent skateboarding, swimming and laughing with new friends. Skate Camp has a world-class skate park in a peaceful setting with perfect weather. Campers spend their evenings laughing at campfire antics while performing skits with their cabin mates, attending question and answer sessions with visiting pros and watching the latest skate videos. Exhausted, after a day of fun, campers go to sleep following a thoughtful cabin group discussion led by their counselor.

Each of our hand picked staff members share the vision of camp with pride and enthusiasm. The result is a wholesome camp experience that provides campers with memories that last a lifetime. In addition to receiving intensive leadership and safety training, every counselor is an excellent skateboarder and skateboard instructor that can teach whatever new tricks campers may be working on. In case of any mishap, there is a licensed medical person on the premises 24 hours a day.

2009 was the biggest year to date for Element YMCA Skate Camp. Nearly 800 campers spent a week with us and had the time of their lives. This year will be even better with the construction of a new lakeside mini-ramp as well some key renovations to the street course and Element Land. I’ll see you at Skate Camp this summer.

Sincerely,

Mike Manidis
Element YMCA Skate Camp Director
