We are also planning to offer Eastside classes but have been unable to find a location that would allow us to offer regular classes. The private gyms we were renting have gone in a different direction. The community centers don’t allow us to rent. regularly so they are not an option. We continue to offer our summer camps on the Eastside.
There is no water fountain at the venue, and we encourage you to bring your own water bottle to the class. We are working on getting one but plan on being self-sufficient for right now.

We recommend www.shop-task.com, which offers complimentary shipping, and by using the code ‘sj student,’ you will receive a 10% discount.

Campers are organized according to their skating proficiency. While we strive to place individuals with similar skills together, we cannot ensure this arrangement. Campers registered for the same camp will generally have the opportunity to remain together throughout the duration of the camp, even if they are not assigned to the same group.
In the past, we have held camps indoors at Eastside Christian. Please check the Skate Camp page for current camp locations.
Absolutely! All of our campers vary in experience, from complete beginners to advanced skaters. We find that children learn best from one another, so we welcome new skaters!
Our program offers a well-rounded experience for campers, combining structured skate lessons during the morning with engaging arts and crafts, games, and an optional additional hour of skating in the afternoon. This schedule provides ample opportunity for meaningful social interactions and the creation of lasting summer memories with both new and established friendships.
