Life On Camp
Our home for 5 days will be the 43 acre Rough Close campsite and activity centre. The Norton Cabin, is the premier accommodation onsite, has sleeping accommodation for 18 young people in three bunk rooms and 4 adult helpers in two bunk rooms, it has full facilities including a fully fitted kitchen, day room, toilet and shower facilities, central heating and is equipped with a fire alarm system.
Every day, the team will serve up 3 decent meals - breakfast most likely consisting of heaps of cereal or toast, lunch will most likely be on site at whatever skatepark we are visiting and the evening meal will be a group effort with some fun BBQ action and roasting of marshmallows on the campfire always a favourite. We can guarantee no one will go hungry - we’ll stop cooking when you stop eating - you’re going to need that energy for the next days skateboarding session. Remember to inform us of any food requirements before you arrive so we can bring supplies.
The evening will be a chance to catch up on the day’s fun, maybe look over the footage from the days skating, play some games, just generally kick back.
We’re pretty flexible on the camps and will obviously take into account what you want to do, how everyone is progressing, what the weather is like and so on but you can be pretty confident we’ll be hitting up these beauties:
Stoke on Trent Plaza - this multi million pound outdoor park is legendary and has got enough concrete goodness to keep any skater happy all day. No introduction needed - arguably the best place to skate in the country.
The Works, features a 25,000sq/ft indoor skatepark designed and built by the legendary Snoz. As well as all the high quality ramps, The Works also contains a cafe and lounge, the two-10 bmx shop, a digital media suite and a Playstation room. Nice.
Rampworx Park is the UK’s largest indoor skatepark weighing in at a monster 55,000sq/ft. Liverpool’s finest skate park has been setting the standard for years. Here, heaven really is a halfpipe.
The Boardroom has got a 9ft vert wall, a Euro gap with side ledge, a 4ft mini ramp, a 5 ft bowl and i am only naming a few. One of the best in the UK, its always developing and evolving to stay ahead of the game. Get in there.
