Art Shed
Art and skateboarding go hand in hand, so head over to the art shed to add flair to your grip tape, make rings out of recycled skateboards, or make and design a mini skateboard during Create-A-Skate. This is a unique program that allows campers to learn how a board is made from beginning to end.
