Summer Skateboarding Camp at the Community Center

 

 

(TROY, MI) – The coolest summer camp around is coming to the Troy Community Center June 29-July 3 and August 10- 14 from 9 am-12 pm.  Troy Skateboarding Camp 2009 will teach kids how to do the great tricks they see on ESPN’s X-Games, in a safe, well-structured environment.  Boys and girls ages 7-14 may participate, and both skateboards and roller blades are allowed each day.  The fee is $136 ($141 non-resident).

 

“This is the perfect opportunity for kids who are interested in skate boarding to learn some new tricks and advance their boarding skills,” said Scott Mercer, Recreation Supervisor.

 

Each participant must provide full protective equipment, which includes a helmet with chin-strap, wrist guards, kneepads and elbow pads.  All campers receive a camp T-shirt on the last day of camp and an ice-cold bottle of Gatorade daily.  On Friday of each week, there will be an X-game style competition. Participants will be judged competing in a variety of categories suited for their age.

 

The Troy Skate Park is located in the north parking lot of the Community Center, located at 3179 Livernois.  For more information, call 248.524.3484.
