CONNECTING SKATEBOARDERS TO THE OUTDOORS.

SKATE WILD TRIPS.

Skate Wild trips are not just road trips—they're epic skateboarding adventures into the wild! These one-of-a-kind skateboard camping expeditions take you beyond the skatepark and into the heart of nature, where you'll camp under the stars, cook over an open fire, hike to hidden lakes, chase waterfalls, soak in hot springs, fish in alpine streams, and master essential survival skills—all while hitting some of the best skateparks along the way.

We take you to incredible locations where you can push your skateboarding limits, but also step off the beaten path and experience the raw beauty of the outdoors.

Want a taste of the adventure? Check out this video and see what a Skate Wild trip is all about!

We provide all the camping gear you need, and with a 1:2 staff-to-camper ratio, every participant gets personalized mentorship from our highly experienced team of skateboarders and outdoor educators. Before departure, you'll receive everything you need—packing lists, waivers, and trip details.

Ready to escape the ordinary? Come Skate Wild with us!
