Frequently Asked Questions

My child has never done skateboarding before. Will they be ok?
We welcome absolute beginners! We group students according to their levels, so absolute beginners can learn the basics while experienced ones can learn more advanced techniques. Our low (typically around 4:1) student to teacher ratio allows us to provide a lot of personal attention.
Before signing up for our week-long camp, we highly recommend that your child(ren) try a day camp session to see how they enjoy our program.

Do you provide scholarships?
Unfortunately, SKATEYOGI does not offer financial aid or scholarships.
For the most value, we recommend our series, workshops or day camps.
The class fee includes all rental skateboard, pads and helmet. This fee also includes access to the open skate session that day so the students can continue skating and practicing what they learned.
During the summer, you can also find us at community events where we provide free skateboarding clinics to local children.
