FAQs // Skate Camp

Camp Safety

Daily activities include skateboard instruction, free skate, and small group Bible study discussions. We take safety very seriously at our skate camps. Please be aware that all campers must wear helmets, elbow and knee pads that properly fit. The camper to counselor ratio at the park is a maximum of 4 students per counselor/instructor. Our skateboard instructors are strong skaters and have years of skateboarding experience. Each individual student is assigned to a group of students and to one counselor. That counselor is responsible for supervising their group for the day and for the duration of the camp. Please call us with any concerns.

Enrollment is first come first serve basis.

Skateboarding Equipment Needed

Comfortable clothing designed to move and sweat. Knee and elbow pads are required and must be provided by the camper. A helmet that fits well and is comfortable also needs to be provided by the camper. Please be sure to label all personal items with first and last name in permanent marker.  Although a water fountain is on site, we encourage all campers to bring their own personal water bottle or jug.

Student Requirements

Students must be able to endure a highly vigorous physical workout that involves skateboarding, must have respect for other skaters, be in good health and willing to obey instructors at all times.

Cancellations

 
FCA reserves the right to cancel the camp due to severe weather, lightning or other conditions.

Exceptions to this policy cannot be made for any reason, including weather or personal sports schedules. Because of our commitment to students, staff & volunteers and because of limited space, there will be absolutely no refunds within 7 days of the first day of your camp. In the case of a medical emergency a signed doctor’s note will be required and one half of your camp tuition will be refunded. We do not have make-up days for missed camp days. If you have any questions regarding our cancellation policy, please call the camp office.

Weather

We reserve the right to cancel the camp due to severe weather, lightning, dangerous conditions, or a wet skatepark. Lightning usually passes by quickly in the summer. In most cases we start camp 30 minutes after the last sight of lightning or sound of thunder. If there is lightning or thunder during camp, the city requires us to leave the park immediately. You will be notified 30 minutes before the start time of camp if cancelation or delay start to camp is necessary due to weather conditions. We do not refund or have make-up days due to weather cancellations.
