Story Skateboard Camp (formerly Camp WeSC UK) is a 5 day residential skateboard camp set up by skateboarders for skateboarders. Our aim is to provide a unique opportunity for people to spend 5 days with professional skateboarders at some of the best parks the UK has to offer.

At our camps we offer great value for money where each skater will take away a huge package consisting of but not limited to; a new deck, new shoes, and new clothing amongst other things. Obviously all the food and accommodation is taken care of and to a high standard.

At the previous camps we have had the pleasure of having some of the UK’s best skateboarders and some of our previous coaches include Tom Knox, Danny Brady, Nick Jensen, Nick Remon, Nicky Howells, Jody Smith, Leo Smith, Benny Fairfax, Jason Lewer to name but a few! It is a unique opportunity to spend time with these Professionals and all the skaters really enjoy having the people they see in videos and magazines on hand to help out when needed.

We encourage people of all ages, sexes and from all backgrounds. We have both male and female coaches at all our camps and we are proud to see a growth in the number of girl skateboarders who attend.

Skateboarding is a great tool to meet new people and visit new places, we have all benefited from this and wish to try and share this with others.

Our camps are always set in safe and secure environments allowing the skaters to enjoy their stay with us and giving parents the peace of mind.

Info

Waiver

For skaters under 18 we will require a waiver to be signed (by agreeing to our terms and conditions on the registration page). As you are aware, skateboarding, like most other sports may sometimes result in injury. While we will be on hand to ensure the safety of each skater and provide the necessary care, local first aid and hospital trips if needed, there are certain situations we cannot predict nor prevent. We do ALWAYS advise the use of helmets and pads, however we can not force the individual to wear these and it is entirely your decision if you wish to speak to your child about this before sending them to the camp. Lots of our campers do wear helmets and/or pads and generally most skaters are fully aware of the risks involved in skateboarding and make their own decisions in regards to the protective gear.

PLEASE NOTE. WE WILL OFFER REFUNDS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND DUE TO INJURY OR OTHER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Our Anti – Bullying Policy

Story skatecamp operates a strict Anti-Bullying Policy which we require each parent and skater to read and agree to before signing up to the camp. You can find this below.

“Bullying is when one or more people exclude, tease, taunt, gossip, hit, kick, or put down another person with the intent to hurt another. Bullying happens when a person or group of people want to have power over another and use their power to get their way, at the expense of someone else. Bullying can also happen through cyberspace: through the use of e-mails, text messaging, instant messaging, and other less direct methods. This type of bullying can also lead to persons being hurt during or between the camp seasons and be especially hurtful when persons are targeted with meanness and exclusion. At Camp WeSC UK, bullying is inexcusable, and we have a firm policy against all types of bullying. Our Camp philosophy is based on our mission statement which ensures that every camper has the opportunity to make new friends, acquire skills and have fun We work together as a team to ensure that campers gain self confidence, make new friends, and go home with great memories. Unfortunately, persons who are bullied may not have the same potential to get the most out of their camp experience. Our leadership addresses all incidents of bullying seriously and trains staff to promote communication with their staff and their campers so both staff and campers will be comfortable alerting us to any problems during their camp experience and between camp seasons. Every person has the right to expect to have the best possible experience at camp, and by working together as a team to identify and manage bullying, we can help ensure that all campers and staff have a great summer at Camp WeSC UK. ☺” For more information you can call Mark on 07868754856.

FAQ

What is Story Skatecamp

Story Skatecamp is a residential Skateboard Camp set up in 2011 by Professional Skateboarder Mark Baines. The idea behind the camp was to allow Boys and Girls aged 11+ the opportunity to spend 5 days skating with some of their favourite pro skaters and progress with their skating throughout the week but in a relaxed non-school environment.

All of the people who work for the Camp are CRB checked and we have staff who have first aid and health and safety certificates and have worked with children in various capacities. We want the people who attend the camp to enjoy their time with us whilst offering them the opportunity to progress in the sport they love with the help of the Professional Skateboarders who run the camps.

The camps are for Skaters of all ages, boy or girl and of all abilities, so if you have only been skating a short while don’t worry, we believe you will benefit from coming along and we are here to help you progress and learn some new tricks. It’s not about how good you but the enjoyment you can have from skateboarding.
