We just wrapped up three sessions of Summer Skateboarding Day Camp at Southside Skatepark and we wanted to let you know that new emerging skateboarding youth are alive and well. Yes, we had tremendous attendance this year and are excited for this Fall’s Thanksgiving and Holiday Break Day Camps. As we get closer we will announce those day camp dates but in the meantime, we wanted to share some photos and provide you with more information about our skateboarding day camp programs below. Everyone who attended this Summer, thanks for the support and hope to see you again soon, have a great Summer and we look forward to this Fall 2024!
Skateboard Summer, Fall Holiday, and Spring Break Day Camps Offer Flexible Attendance and Have Been Consistently Ongoing since 2001 at Southside Skatepark in South Houston, Texas
In the Summer we offer these skateboarding instructional day camps before it gets to hot and early enough to avoid your family’s Summer vacation. The camp occurs at Southside Skatepark and meets from 10 am-2 pm Monday through Wednesday. Your skateboarders will be grouped based on skill level and an instructor will help them improve as much as we are able. Lunch will be provided with orders taken at check-in to ensure your skateboarder has plenty of energy. We can accommodate allergy requirements with ease so please communicate your needs with us.

We provide water throughout the day to keep your skateboarder hydrated. Daily Southside Skatepark Admission wristbands are included with camp attendance. This allows your skateboarder to stay and skateboard after 2 pm when Southside Skatepark opens to the public. This is also great for parents if they have a conflict and can not pick up immediately at the end of camp. Helmet Rental is available to all camp attendees at no charge.
We Curtail All Instruction to the Ability Level of Each Skateboarder Helping to Maximize Their Potential
Skateboard Summer Day Camps focus on basic skateboarding techniques for beginners. Some examples would be foot placement while pushing themselves along. Helping them choose which stance is best for them. Also how to lean into a turn and maintain their balance while riding up and down any of our various ramps. Our intermediate group is generally working on the ollie technique and more.
We help all skateboarders take their skill sets to the next level. By working in small groups we can also address questions and concerns of the skateboarders one on one. Not everyone will have the same goals and our Skateboard Summer Day Camps address the individuality of each skateboarder as well if not better than any other camp they will attend this year.
If Your Skateboarder is Unable to Drop-In but Is Showing Signs of Being Ready, We Spot them to Help Avoid Injury and Build Confidence.
If they are unable to drop in but are showing signs of being ready we spot them to help avoid injury and build confidence. The goal is to have them drop in on their own soon after this process. Sometimes they can drop in and want to start learning ramp trick basics. Maintaining speed within the bowl is another goal of intermediate-skilled skateboarders. The advanced group may already be able to do kickflips and ramp trick basics. If that’s the case we provide higher-level skateboarders to address the needs of those individuals.
We Look Forward to Meeting and Skateboarding with You this Summer!
