This year we are going to make sure Dutch skaterkids have an awesome summer. For the fourth time there will be a Thisissoul camp full of skating, learning, making friends and enjoying the skatelifestyle. The teachers are Ivo Vegter and Davy Wouda. Our cook is Chef Sjoerd! This will all take place in Deventer. We will sleep on a camp site and skate mostly in the Burnside indoor skatepark.

The dates are:
- 17th - 19th of august

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 and skating around.

Register

Purchase this product to register. Also send us an mail with the name of the camper and of the parent. telephone camper, age camper, telephone parent, name parent, We will call you to talk a bit more about the camp and to see if there are any special desires like sleeping hours, allergies, etc.

Activities

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

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.

The movie night 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 heroes like Chris Edwards and Arlo Eisenberg that they may of never heard of.

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!

We hold daily actives. These include such fun games as

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

Drop off

We meet on the 17th 11.00 hours at the camping de worp in Deventer. You can drive the car on the camping untill you spot us there. On the day itself we will share our exact spot in the whatsapp group for the parents. Then  we and the parents will help everybody find a spot and build up their camp. The kids that are ready early can play games with their new found friends like frisbee or batminton.

Pickup

the pickup location is Burnside Skatepark on the Sint Olafstraat 6 at 16.00 hours. The Campers will have trained for 3 days by then and we will do a little demonstration for the parents of what they have learned. Then after that we will have hamburgers for everybody. at 18.00 the skatepark closes and everybody needs to have left the building.

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 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 for 2 nights. All skaters must bring their own tent or share a tent with a friend.
