Snowboarding

PCSS Snowboard offers the following summer programs.  

 

Summer Snowboard Skills Camp requires a Woodward Membership

Skateboard Programs

Snowboarding has been inspired by skateboarding since its inception. Our summer skate program is designed with that in mind. With guidance from our staff, athletes of all abilities have a place in this program.  This year we will have two options for skate camp: First Drops, and Sk8 Camp. First Drops is a beginner only session while Sk8 camp is designed for those already familiar with skating.

Skate Camp

Skate Camp gives skaters the chance to expand their horizons and see the world of skateboarding in the surrounding areas. This program travels to skate parks in Park City, Heber Valley, and the Salt Lake valley. Stops along the tour include West Valley City, Oakley, Holladay, Guthrie, and more. 

The tour also stops at Utah’s best skate and snow shop, Milosport.
