SUMMER FUN STARTS HERE! SKATEYOGI SUMMER CAMP 2018 CATALOG FOR AGES 6 14
GREETINGS FROM OUR FOUNDER Dear Friends, Thank you so much for your interest in SKATEYOGI Summer Camp! This year will mark the 5 th anniversary since SKATEYOGI began teaching skateboarding programs for kids and adult beginners. Last summer, we were delighted to welcome students from all around the NYC Metro area (Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Jersey City, Hoboken, and Westchester) as well as Argentina, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, and more. For 2018, we have upgraded our air-conditioned indoor ramp space with a new mini-halfpipe to complement our other movable ramps and obstacles for progressive learning. We have also added a new program where older, more experienced students explore the city s skateparks and spots every day. Everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned shredders are welcome! All of us here at SKATEYOGI are looking forward to skating and learning with you soon! Namaskate! Kevin F. Banahan Founder/Executive Director
SKATEYOGI S CORE PRINCIPLES 1. HIGH FIVE! SKATEYOGI starts and ends our classes with high fives to show each other s respect and celebrate the moment we got to share influenced by a Zen concept known as Ichi-go Ichi-e: Treasure every encounter, for it will never recur. 4. KEEP PUSHING! As Master Yoda says, The greatest teacher, failure is. Everyday we fall, get back up and continue learning. Skateboarding is a great lesson in resilience and perseverance. 2. CHECK YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR. SKATEYOGI offers an ego-free zone for all our students regardless of their levels. 5. NAMASKATE! Namaste is a phrase/gesture of pure compassion and recognition that we bow to the true self inside each one of us. SKATEYOGI encourages skateboarders to be respectful and thankful to each other and the surrounding community. 3. HAVE FUN! BE CREATIVE! SKATEYOGI encourages our students to think up something fun and break the norm. It s all skateboarding!
