 Tue 9/6 3-5pm | Wed 9/7 4-6pmCome take a look at SKATEYOGI's new location in Williamsburg! This event is for families that are new to SKATEYOGI and would like to view our space, meet our teachers and learn about our Fall Series classes. Pop in anytime during the 2-hr session. We will have an ongoing clinic so your child can get a quick one on one with a teacher to try out skateboarding in our indoor space. Students ages 2 and up are welcome. We will provide skateboard and safety gear.
 Whether you're 2 or 42, come learn to skate with us! It has always been our mission to spread the love of skateboarding to all ages and as we enter the Fall season it is exciting to report two new developments that help support this mission!
Skate Tots are Back! We are so excited to welcome our youngest shredders (ages 2-3) since putting the program on hold back in 2020. Can't wait to see the look of amazement as we use the environment and activity of skateboarding as a rich platform for exploration, socializing and creative movement with plenty of hand holding. There is also a Juniors (ages 4-5) class being offered as a bridge to our existing Little Kids program (ages 5-7). Adult Skate Camp! For years we’ve been doing skate camps for kids, but why do they get to have all the fun? Last Saturday we had so much fun during our very first full day skate camp for adults! We skated the streets and sidewalks of Williamsburg, got an early sesh in at McCarren, skated over to Smorgasburg for lunch and then ended with an extended session at our indoor/outdoor ramp space. Join us Saturday, September 3 from 9:30am-3pm for another full day of skating, fun and making new adult skate friends. Anyone comfortable pushing a skateboard is welcome to join.  Epic Week!!!
It's been an epic first week welcoming our adult students and little kids to our new Williamsburg space! One of the Adult Basics students did their first drop-in! The Little Kids Mini Camp is designed for ages 5-7 for a 2-1/2 hour afternoon camp full of indoor ramp action and a field trip to skate the waterfront park across the street. They had lots of fun on the grass hill 😝 There's still room to sign up for Little Kids Mini Camps at both our Williamsburg and PLG locations in two weeks: Tuesday 7/26 thru Thursday 7/28 from 4-6:30pm, and next week at PLG 7/19-21. Skateboard and safety gear provided. Absolute beginners welcome! And we’re also excited to announce the return of classes for our very little ones this Fall! Skate Tots ages 2-3 and Junior Shredders ages 4-5 are coming back 🤙✨ Stay tuned! Everyone can skate! Kevin Hannah is a program coordinator from Chill Foundation that we work with to make skateboarding classes happen for kids from agency partners! It's been honor to collaborate with her! Watch her in action in this video!  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

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.

 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 |
