Experience Skateboarding
With CAMP SUMMERS USA

Working as a specialist skateboarding counselor at a summer camp in the United States is an opportunity to share a creative, urban, and energetic sport with children and teenagers. Skating attracts participants who enjoy individual challenges, freedom of movement, and the satisfaction of improving through practice. As a specialist, you will be able to help them get started safely or refine basic skills in a supportive and respectful environment. It is not only about learning tricks: skateboarding teaches perseverance, coordination, body control, and confidence. Your role will be to create sessions where each camper can progress at their own pace, celebrate their progress, and discover that falling or making mistakes is also part of learning.

Teach Skateboarding to Your Campers!

Responsibilities

Your duties will include preparing the practice area, checking boards and protective gear, organizing groups, and planning exercises adapted to different levels. You will be able to teach stance, balance, pushing off, braking, turning, getting around, safe falling, and basic tricks when the facilities and protocols allow it. You may also create circuits, accuracy games, control challenges, and station-based activities to keep everyone active. It will be important to explain each movement step by step, demonstrate techniques clearly, and offer alternatives for those who are just starting or need more confidence. Organizing turns and spaces will prevent long waits and allow each participant to practice under supervision. A good session combines technical progression, fun, and respect for personal limits.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

People with experience skateboarding, teaching urban sports, physical education, or youth activities are valued. The specific requirements depend on each camp, but patience, responsibility, energy, and the ability to teach progressively are especially useful. You will work in English, live alongside an international team, and develop skills in leadership, communication, and group management. If you are passionate about skating and want to help young people gain confidence on the board, working as a specialist counselor in the United States can be a very active, authentic, and memorable experience.

SAFETY FIRST

Skateboarding develops very valuable physical and emotional skills. Campers work on balance, coordination, concentration, and reaction time, but they also learn to persist when a movement doesn’t come out on the first try. As a counselor, you will be able to reinforce a positive mindset, showing that progress comes with practice, patience, and achievable goals. Skate culture can also teach respect for others, care for shared space, and support among peers. Although each participant has their own style, group activities allow them to cheer each other on, exchange tips, and celebrate progress. Your leadership will help the group avoid unnecessary comparisons and value individual effort. In this way, skateboarding becomes an activity for personal development, not just a sport.
