Last night I discovered that we had a week in the summer with absolutely nothing planned for the kids. This seems to happen every year. Time just gets away from us. That is why we create the last minute camp openings post every year to help parents find camp spots to fill those empty weeks as late as June.
The following camps have confirmed that they still have spots available:
Homage Skate Academy
Our experienced instructors love to teach skateboarding and are constantly progressing in their teaching abilities, just like their skating abilities. Our coaches are Red Cross Certified for both CPR and First Aid, and have years of child care experience.

Kids can take advantage of both the physical and mental benefits of exercise and outdoor exploration, along with indoor activities in a temperature controlled state of the art Skatepark. Campers build their skate skills in a fun and safe indoor environment, then take those skills outdoors gaining further confidence in their abilities. / Ages: 6-14 / Location: 83 3rd Avenue/ Dates: June 12th – Sept 1st.
