No Skateboarding Allowed!
Though skateboarding is now an Olympic sport, it has not always been embraced by the public. In this project students will explore the history and culture of skateboarding and its tie to our community. Students will ponder the purpose of public spaces and will weigh in on whether skateboarding is a public nuisance or a valued pastime. Each day students will participate in a skateboarding clinic which will give them a hands-on opportunity to learn to skate, try out tricks and gain confidence. The week will culminate in a skills showcase.
This project is open to students with any level of skateboarding experience; no prior experience is needed.
Participants must be willing to follow COVID guidelines. Participants should only attend illness free. If a participant should test positive for COVID during the project, the student will be isolated, and the student’s family will be required to pick them up at their current location. The family will bear all the costs associated with the student pick up.
By selecting the above project, you and your family are accepting the financial responsibility for the cost of the projects. This includes any unrecoverable expenses incurred if Overlake, or any federal, state or local government forces cancelation of the project, or if you or your family decide not to attend, or if your student becomes symptomatic and has to be isolated.
