Welcome to
skateboarding!
We’re glad
you’re here!
There’s so much that we’re excited to share with you; let’s start with two points:
Skateboarding = self confidence, life long friends, resilience, creativity, and healthy habits!
Ramp Up = the most fun, safest, and fastest way to get started!
The “Bunny Slopes”
for skateboarding
Like learning to play piano or chess, getting started with skateboarding can feel like a steep learning curve. It can take months of bumps, bruises, and frustration before you’re even having any fun.
That’s why Ramp Up’s curriculum and equipment have been designed with complete beginners in mind. This is by far the most fun, safest, fastest way to get started with skateboarding!
Beginner level, week-long camp.
Beyond the Board
Skateboarding is a catalyst for building great humans, developing qualities such as resilience, confidence, and self-discipline. Our program empowers kids to embrace challenges and grow both on and off the board.
Our coaches
More than skateboarders, our coaches are mentors, parents, and educators on a mission to improve the lives of kids in their communities.
Lead Coaches are USSEA (US Skateboard Education Association) Certified, which entails:
Pennsylvania Act 153 clearances
Heads Up concussion training
Red Cross CPR/First Aid training
SafeSport training
A live practical exam, administered by USSEA
First-timers welcome!
You bring a safety helmet (bike helmets are fine), and we’ll take care of everything else!
In addition to beginner-friendly ramps and obstacles, loaner skateboarders are available for all Ramp Up programs, at no additional charge.
