Skateboarding

PUSH, BALANCE, DROP IN + MORE ★ LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE ★ MAKE A SKATEBOARDING FILM ★ SUPPORTIVE COACH + TEAMMATES ★ ALL EQUIPMENT + PROFESSIONAL GEAR PROVIDED ★ ALL LEVELS WELCOME

Learn the art of shredding in a supportive, positive atmosphere and showcase your skate reel at the final showcase! Our skate coach is a passionate, experienced skateboarder and instructor who meets campers at any skill level, whether they’re just starting to balance on the board or are ready for tricks.

You won’t believe what skate-skills you can accomplish in just a couple weeks with Amplify. It’s crazy how high we can fly with a supportive community lifting us up!

Campers progress step-by-step, learning:

Balance & Control – how to push, stop, and carve with confidence.
Transitions & Flow – riding ramps, bowls, and banks smoothly.
Tricks & Style – from ollies, manuals, and kickturns to beginner grinds and slides (always tailored to each camper’s level).
Safety & Confidence – how to fall safely, wear gear properly, and respect skatepark etiquette.
Creative Expression – bringing your own style and personality into skating, just like in music and art.

By the end of the session, campers aren’t just skating—they’re part of a supportive crew, celebrating every new trick landed and cheering each other on.

KICKFLIP THE SUMMER @ AMPLIFY!

Inspired by the trailblazing work of Skate Like a Girl —and by dozens of passionate campers who begged us to bring it back—Amplify is proud to offer our Skateboarding Immersive again!

In true Amplify style, we’re bringing the same supportive, creative energy you know from our music and arts immersives to the skate park. Whether you’re learning to push, balance, ride, ollie, or drop in for the very first time, or you’re ready to refine your style and tackle bigger tricks, this track gives you the space to grow at your own pace.

And the fun doesn’t stop on campus—we’ll take field trips to shred at Ojai, Santa Paula, and the brand-new Carpinteria skate parks, where campers can test their skills in awesome new environments.

We also encourage campers to check out pioneers like Peggy Oki (Carpinteria’s own!), whose fearless skating continues to inspire the next generation of riders.Check out how skateboarding empowers girls to thrive on our blog

“I think girls should try skateboarding, or anything that seems like it’s going to be something fun that they’ll be interested in doing… I love the motion, the flow, the movement of skateboarding. I even love the sound of skateboard wheels.” —skateboarding legend Peggy Oki
