SKATE WILD TRIPS

Skate Wild Trips offers a one-of-a-kind adventure that combines skateboarding with outdoor exploration. Our trips are designed to help participants feel more comfortable in wild spaces while learning essential outdoor skills. From camping under the stars and cooking over an open fire to hiking to stunning lakes, waterfalls, and hot springs, we provide an unforgettable experience that blends nature and skate culture.

We travel to incredible destinations where skaters can ride world-class parks while also stepping off the beaten path to immerse themselves in the great outdoors. Our experienced instructors are all skateboarders with over a decade of expertise in outdoor youth development, ensuring top-notch mentorship and guidance.

This program is designed for teens (ages 13+), and we provide all necessary camping gear and equipment. With a 1:2 staff-to-camper ratio, each participant receives personalized support and mentorship, making this a truly enriching experience. Before departure, we’ll send all necessary details, including waivers and packing lists.
