Summer
Camp in Lake Forest
 Etnies
Skate Park Summer Skate Camp
With over 500 participants successfully
completing skate camp at the Etnies Skatepark
of Lake Forest since we opened in 2003,
our skate camp programming has grown into
one of the most successful skate camp
programs offered through city programming.
Each day of camp will consist of detailed
instruction, camp activities, skateboard
movies, games, and a lunch break. Specific
clinics covering the basics of ollies,
kick flips, rails, boxes, and ramp skateboarding
will be held by experienced Skatepark
staff. Each week campers will also receive
a DVD of the week's highlights produced
by the Skatepark staff along with an introduction
to skateboard videography. All proceeds
go directly to keeping the park free.

at 949-916-5870 |
