SUMMER SKATEBOARD CAMP

WATERVILLE VALLEY SUMMER SKATE CAMP FOR 2009

Early Price Deadline Coming Up March 31

The Waterville Valley Skate Camp (WVSC) is getting ready to kick off its 7th year as the premiere overnight skate board camp in the East. Seven 5-night sessions are lined up for beginners to advanced skaters from June 28 - August 14. Camps run Sunday night though Friday afternoon and each are sponsored by a different skate company including Oakley, Eastern Boarder, Volcom, Substance, Red Bull, Circa footwear, 5Boro, Emerica and es. Six 2-day sessions also start up the weekend of July 3. There's even a day camp option.

The WV Skate Park changes up each season but the standards always include a horseshoe bowl, mini ramp, quarter pipes, pyramids, ground boxes and rails. There's also a mountain park located at the ski area with an indoor mini ramp and street section under an awning for rainy days. To mix it up, weekly skate park tours take campers to Nashua's concrete park, Concord's skate park and Eastern Boarder skate shop. For alternative activities, campers also get to mountain bike, hike, swim in mountain streams, boat, fish, play golf and tennis, all offered within the resort of Waterville Valley.

WVSC includes round-the-clock supervision for boys and girls 12 - 18 (8 and older for day campers), coaching from professional skateboard staff, meals, lodging, evaluation of progression, trips to other skate parks and Eastern Boarder Skate Shop and a WVSC T-shirt.

Overnight campers stay in Waterville Valley's Town Square Condominiums, located across from WV Skate Park.
