Time is definitely flying at camp… with one more day under our belts, I can say with confidence everyone is having a great time and getting some quality time with their skateboards…
In the morning at day 4, we focused on some personal skill development with he kids. Boe and Bryan each followed our skaters around coaching each with specific tips and techniques… with visible results. I’m sure you will all notice that on our last day of camp at the BBQ blow-out. Then, Boe gave the beginners a demonstration on gripping boards.
The workshop on day 4 was about the park. More specifically, we talked about running a skate park, the shop and all the things we do to maintain the place running… We followed that with a hands on inspection of all the ramps. We painted rusty corners, tightened loose bolts and waxed grind rails… With some extra time in hand, we got back to making some stencils… We got walls, the ground and some boards all stenciled…
At 4pm we all got some fruit sorbet to cool off a little (it was over 85f here). Eventually we all got together and helped clean up the park and prepare for the next day – which, in hind-sight, we should have considered doing that from day 1…. Oh well… I guess we are all learning something at camp.
Here are some pictures from day 4:
