Campers can sign up for the Create-A-Skate program once they arrive at camp. With a fee of $30, campers are handed an unfinished skate deck; Campers will then learn to file, sand, and paint their boards to their own individual style and taste.
Create-A-Skate is not just for skateboarders; all campers enjoy this activity.

Paul Schmitt, who grew up and built his first boards in southern Wisconsin, has been designing and producing skateboards for nearly three decades. Professor Schmitt’s dedication to building the highest quality and most durable skateboards, that also offer the greatest level of performance, can be traced to the influence of the 100s of professional skateboarders who use his products. The feedback from his friends and fellow skateboarders has always been essential to the design and manufacturing of his skateboard decks.
Now, with the development of the CreateAskate.org program, Professor Schmitt’s unique program is dedicated to helping young people create a hand-made version of one of his professional quality skateboard decks. In establishing the CreateAskate.org program Professor Schmitt hopes teenagers around the country can discover for themselves a sense of pride and accomplishment as they create, with their own hands, a bit of relevance in their own lives.
Skateboards helped change Professor Schmitt’s life...maybe, just maybe, participating in the CreateAskate.org program will help participants discover for themselves some of the same powerful consequences by creating their own personalized professional quality skateboard deck!
