SKATE:        Mr. Smalls SkatePark’s fifth annual REAL.LIFE.SKATE CAMP will once again be held at the newly re-designed facility.  Our program is modeled after that of Woodward Camp, the premier extreme sports camp in the country, which was developed and directed for 10 years by Mr. Smalls’ President and Owner, Mike Speranzo. This one-week intensive for Skate, In-Line & Freestyle Bikers will be instructed by our staff and visiting pros. After the daily group instruction sessions focusing on skills, balance, and style, the instructors and pros will work one-on-one with the campers.  There will be Pro Demos and amateur events for every skill level and prizes provided by many sponsors and skate companies.
Past Pro instructors have included: Matt Lindemuth, Chris Edwards, John Rokos, Mike Bennett, Dave Metty & more. Check www.creativelifesupport.com  for updates on this year’s confirmed pros and staff.  Skate Campers will also enjoy significant participation in the REAL.LIFE.MUSIC SEMINAR, which will be happening that same week, including concerts and specialty music workshops.
