This year we are going to make sure Dutch Skaterkids have an awesome summer. For the second time there will be a Thisissoul camp full of skating, learning, making friends and the skatelifestyle. With pro skater Josh Glowicki and teachers Ivo Vegter and Davy Wouda. This will all take place in Deventer. We will sleep on a camp site and skate moastly in the Burnside indoor skatepark.

Mindset

Our goal is to create a strong coherent sport with matching subculture. During the days in Deventer the Campers will be taught about the roots of the sport, healthy lifestyle and all the things you can do on skates like hockey, grinding, airing, gapping, stairbashing, slalom and powerblading

Activities

The camp will be filled with exciting things to do. Every part of the day there will be something to learn.

Wakeup/yoga

Yoga class is something we do because of the importance in stretching and preparing your body for the day ahead. We take about 30/45 minutes after breakfast to share some yoga/breathing/stretching

Basic Blading lessons - 101

The beginning. This is as simple as it sounds. We start from the ground and build up. Some kids can barely skate properly but can somehow grind things. This a very simple fix because the child possess the balance and skills but skipped the most elementary thing which is rolling, comfortable with control, Rolling fakie, stopping, Looking over both shoulders, Riding transition, carving bowls, basic grinds, ect.

Flight school

flight school is where we take the time during the day to specially teach kids how to fly! We train launch box or quarter pipes. Let’s face it, every kid dreams of learning a flip. Here we are able to start from the ground up teaching how to proper ride and ramp and eventually into launching it.

Movie Night/History Lesson

This is where we all sit down with the kids and watch old edits, old videos and whatnot to properly educate the campers on the roots with Chris Edwards, Arlo Eisenberg that they may of never heard of.

Street skating

We will also take the kids street skating for a few hours one day near the end of the camp. We've seen the campers pull out some crazy stuff on the streets! Some campers might even learn their first hand rails during this time! It’s exciting.

Daily Events

We hold daily actives. These include such fun games as

- Tag/ chase
- Race around the skate park
- Day session
- Race
- Dodge ball

Food

Here we take the time to explain the importance in proper nutrition to have a future in skating. Breakfast is the best time for us to do this. In a previous camp we watched the kids transform from a Coke Cola candy bar breakfast diet into Pure Fruit/ fruit juice, smoothies. Eating bananas and apples for snacks.

All food is included in the price of the camp

Camping

We will sleep in a campsite in Deventer. We will have a big tent for people who like to sleep together. People that want their own little place can bring their own tent with them.
