Skateboarding develops physical and mental skills that may benefit the participants immediately and throughout their lives. Although many activities have a healthy influence on a child’s development, an activity that the child chooses, such as skateboarding, will have the greatest significance. Skateboarding is intrinsically satisfying. Children naturally gravitate toward activities that involve rolling, turning, jumping and other such movements. The heights, speeds, and technical movements of skateboarding help a child learn to solve problems and overcome fears. Skateboarding has rules that must be learned and followed, including unvarying physical rules with real consequences. The sport also teaches rules that relate to individual safety and the safety of others. Educators understand that children’s success in school is heavily influenced by early childhood experiences that form and mold their self-concepts. Children need to have positive reinforcement through solving problems, attaining goals, and having control over the direction of their lives. The concepts that are learned while achieving a skill in skateboarding are just as important as the skill itself. A child who has succeeded in reaching goals and interacting positively with others develops a strong sense of self-esteem and will approach future situations with confidence and an increased chance for success. Skateboarding can enhance young people’s ability to adapt to experiences they encounter in life. YMCA Camp Indian Springs will offer opportunities to develop and grow spirit, mind and body by providing positive leadership and encouraging a fun environment through an attitude of service to all.
