This is only 1/3 of the park available to campers to learn and progress on. There is everything from beginner to professional riders to learn and practice on.

Our summer camp programming is now in it's 8th year and we have had over 1000 successful campers in that period.



Why choose our summer skate camp over others? - Our camps include access to the largest free public skatepark in California (ours of course), bbq lunch and drinks included daily (yes we can get vegetarian lunches if requested), a special trip to the etnies training facility on the last day of camp, instead of the camp DVD as we have done in the past each camper will receive a skateboard deck (www.Createaskate.org) which they will get to design and use during camp, and of course a camp shirt!

Should you sign up early? We suggest signing up as soon as you know which week is right for your schedule as our camps have sold out the past 5 years.

Is the camp affordable? Yes for $195 for the week, many camps are priced close to double and still do not include daily lunch, dvd, and of course our skatepark. This is the only camp allowed at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest!

Do you offer any camps other than skate? Yes we offer 2 separate weeks of film/media camp. In this camp we film using a canon xd-h1 hd video camera (yes we do have a fish eye and you can bring your own camera if you want) and adobe premiere cs5.
