Do I have to have my own skateboard?
For summer/day camp programs held at SKATEYOGI facilities we offer complimentary skateboard & safety gear rental to all students.
If registered for multi-week classes at SKATEYOGI, at this time, we are not offering safety gear rental. Please purchase your own helmet and pads before the first day of class. (We sell all the safety gear at SKATEYOGI.)
If you are registered for outdoor class/Urban Shredders camp: You must bring all the gear and skateboard.

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.
During the summer, you can also find us at community events where we provide free skateboarding clinics to local children.

Sorry, we do not offer sibling discounts. Please take advantage of our early bird offers.

Our little kids camp program is for ages 5-7, those who are entering Grades K-2 in the fall.

Can my child do 1/2 days?
Due to the flow of our programs, we do not offer 1/2 days. However, we do offer multi-week series classes that are 3-hour long for ages 7-13.
Do you have a waitlist?
When our camp weeks become full, there will be a waitlist on our website. Please leave a phone number and email address that you frequently check. If you get contacted for a spot but do not respond in a timely manner, then we contact the next person on the waitlist.
Please note that due to our small group size, we recommend registering early.
