ABOUT OVERNIGHT CAMP
Our overnight skate camp is a skateboarding paradise! Located on a beautiful lake outside Sequoia National Park, this camp offers a unique connection to nature and community. This camp is for all skill levels - from folks who have never skateboarded before to those that want to take their skill to the next level. Skaters will get to shred, sing karaoke, swim, and gain lifelong friendships with others! Just a 4 hour drive from Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, the camp features 5 different skate parks (wood + concrete), a lakeside launch ramp, swimming, boating, arts & crafts, wilderness skills & activities, beach parties and campfire hangouts every night. Whether you've been skating for years or it's your first time on a board, this camp is for you!

"I spent the first two days of camp in awe of the community and space created by the SLAG team and campers. A lot of orgs like to boast non-hierarchical leadership and listening to feedback, but this is the first time I truly Felt like every single person had a voice at all times. Everyone was accepted and included, regardless of skill level or identity. You know how, in high school, it felt like there was never a place to sit at lunch? This is the opposite of that. There’s always a seat at the table - and you are valued, respected, and loved."
