All Girls Skate Camp at Nyjah Huston’s Skatepark

I’ve blogged about Shreducate Academy a Costa Mesa skateboarding school several times and had the pleasure to help at one of their All Girl Skate Camps at Volcom Park.
Below – back in August 2015
 
They have another All Girls Skate Camp that they are hosting with the Pink Helmet Posse coming up on Saturday 2/25/16 so I sat down with founder Joey to find out more.
 *****
  • The next All Girl Skate Camp is at Nyjah Huston’s Skatepark.  Isn’t that a private park?  

Joey:  Yes Nyjah Huston’s Indoor Skatepark is an amazing 10,000 sq foot private facility and we will have full access to the park to allow all the girl to skate around and have a blast and to progress their skills!

  • The camp runs from 10am – 1pm what can the girls attending expect?  Will they be grouped by level with an instructor?  Are absolute beginners welcome too?  If so will there be boards for them to try it out or do participants have to bring their own boards and safety gear?  Is their a recommended age?

Joey:  All the girls attending the skate camp will be able meet and greet some of the girls from Pink Helmet Posse. They will preform a fun little demo for the girls to show off their fun tricks and get the girls excited to skate too!

We are expecting mostly beginners and some intermediate skaters for the camp. Shreducate Staff will be there to cater to all skill levels and abilities.

Pink Helmet Posse will be on site with all merchandise for sale if anyone need boards, pads, helmets or t-shirts. We are accepting all ages for this skate camp and we really want to get all the girls together pushing each other to have as much fun as possible!

  • I heard space is limited.  How many girls can come?  Do you still have spaces?  What happens if someone wants to “skate in” on the day of?

Yes for this camp we are limiting it to only 30 girls. We are going to keep the instructor/skater ration 5 to 1 so we will be able to group them up in different skill levels.

We currently have 15 spots left and we are asking everyone to email me to save a spot so we keep the ratio manageable. If you would like to reserve your spot please send an email to  [email protected]

Thanks Joey for organizing this event & all you do to inspire girls to skateboard.  More girls skate when they see girls having fun skating and get encouragement.  Hope you share your pictures/videos & stories soon.
