 ATEYOGI Summer Camp is off to a great start this week with a group of campers at our PLG location. They've been enjoying daily trips to Prospect Park skating the spots, cruising the hills and taking in some nature along the way. Tomorrow is our weekly Skatepark Field Trip day which makes it return after a 2-year hiatus. The campers and instructors are excited to venture out to Betsy Head Skatepark. This park features lots of flowing, curved transitions at a height perfect for learning new moves! Next week the Urban Shredders camp is back! Based out of Golconda Skatepark in Downtown Brooklyn and now with the return of daily trips around the city these intermediate level skaters will truly experience NYC skate life. We also kick off our very first program at SKATEYOGI Williamsburg next Tue 6/28! You can still sign up! We have a 4-day intensive week full of skating at our brand new skate space featuring a larger mini half-pipe and street area as well as a second mini half-pipe on our attached roof deck. The campers will also venture out for daily trips to nearby spots such as McCarren Skatepark and Continental Army Plaza. See you at camp! Kevin and Yasuyo SKATEYOGI Williamsburg Open House

Session 1: 1-2:30pm Session 2: 3-4:30pm - FULL  Summer Camp Season is Upon Us On Monday, we welcomed the whole SKATEYOGI team to the new Williamsburg space for a Summer Camp Orientation and chance to get a first session in on all the ramps. Everyone was hyped to skate in all the different areas! The taller, wider indoor mini halfpipe. The street course designed for progression with smaller quarter pipes and plenty of smooth flatground. Outside on the balcony we have a second mini ramp similar in size to our PLG location which is perfect for learning and practicing new moves. We are all so excited to see the fun our campers will have surfing these plywood waves all summer! See you there! Kevin & Yasuyo Co-Founders, SKATEYOGI SKATEYOGI Williamsburg Open House

 Thanks to the tireless work of Pat and his crew, the interior and ramps at our new Williamsburg space are now complete! All we have left are the finishing touches but this space is already fully skate-able. I've enjoyed testing out the indoor 3 ft miniramp and soaking up the rays on the outdoor 2 ft miniramp.
We can't wait to share this space with all of you! We are hosting two open house sessions on Saturday June 25. Please be sure to RSVP since space is limited. All eligible attendees (ages 5+): please show proof of COVID vaccination.
Come check it out, hang with the SKATEYOGI crew and bring your board. We'll have space to relax and observe, and space to skate! See you there! Kevin & Yasuyo Co-Founders, SKATEYOGI  As we head towards 10 years of SKATEYOGI, we felt that this was a great time to update our visual brand – our original look was from a distant time, years before COVID back in 2013... As SKATEYOGI continues to evolve with our vision to create a world where our differences are celebrated with peace and respect, we wanted our identity to better reflect that. We partnered with Brooklyn-based design studio Order to develop our new identity system – more movement, openness and most importantly... more fun! Big shoutout to our collaborators Garrett Corcoran, Jesse Reed and Megan Nardini, who worked tirelessly with us with much compassion and enthusiasm. Thank you! What do you think of our new look?

Click here to download our 2022 Summer Camp Guide.  For the first 6 years of our summer camp program, weekly trips to skate parks and spots around the city were a special treat for our campers, and a chance for them to apply their fresh skate skills in a new environment. We are delighted to announce that for Summer 2022 these trips are back!
SKATEYOGI Summer Campers @ PLG and Williamsburg will enjoy weekly trips via public transportation or chartered bus to destinations such as the waterfront mini-snake run at Rockaway Beach Skatepark, the concrete waves of the bowls at Owl's Head or the shaded oasis of obstacles at Golconda. SKATEYOGI Urban Shredders will now be able to add a subway or bus ride to their daily itinerary to unlock an array of skate adventures and truly experience skate life like a NYC skate local. From Chinatown and LES Skatepark to Sarge's and the K Bridge DIY, the possibilities for each day are wide open! Looking forward to all those smiling faces as we embark upon our 9th summer full of skate fun and adventure! See you at Camp! Kevin  Spring has Sprung!

I even had the opportunity to give a presentation on Failure and Skateboarding as a lesson in developing camper's resilience. While we were there we took a break from the conference to check out this nearby DIY skatepark. This spot is a perfect example of Less is More. Something about the simplicity of the layout, the smooth ground, the sparse but well made DIY elements, made this park flow so nice. The locals were very friendly and we found ourselves welcomed into the session. Definitely recommend checking this out if you're ever in the area!   As the COVID mask mandates are being modified at the local and state level, we wanted to communicate what SKATEYOGI's protocols are. (Subject to further changes of NYC and CDC regulations.)
