Summer Camp Waitlist

We’ve been contacting campers on the camp Waitlists to fill our last camp spots, so make sure you’re added to the Waitlist if you’re interested in joining a camp!

We still have limited Scholarship spots available, so email us to apply! Our goal is to remove financial obstacles, so everyone has an opportunity to skate.  

*If we’re unable to fill our remaining Scholarship spots by Friday, we will fill those spots with campers on the Waitlist.

Thank you for your support! Trish & the SJ Team
