SKATEYOGI

<p><span style="caret-color: #500050; color: #500050; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: #ffffff;">Discover the joy of skateboarding! Offered at both their original Prospect Lefferts Gardens location and their new space on the Williamsburg Waterfront (N 9th St @ Kent), SKATEYOGI Summer Camp welcomes anyone ages 7-13 from absolute beginners to experienced skaters in a fun, creative environment. Campers are exposed to both outdoor skating on daily trips to nearby parks and indoor ramp practice. Their low student-to-teacher ratio ensures plenty of personal attention. They also offer a shorter afternoon mini-camp at both of these locations for younger skaters ages 5-7. Rental gear is included for camps held on-site at SKATEYOGI. For more experienced skaters ages 9-15, their Urban Shredders program offers daily adventures at skateparks and skate spots around Downtown Brooklyn. </span></p>
