• Designed to be welcoming, inclusive and low-pressure
• Indoor skating means all-weather fun
• Camp Corve turns a skate session into a full experience

At  Canopy Skatepark, skateboarding has always been about more than tricks — it’s about community, creativity and feeling good in your body. Set within the woodland setting of Camp Corve, the stage is perfectly set for skate events that blend movement, nature and togetherness.



With the Isle of Wight as the backdrop, here are a few skate-and-stay event ideas that feel like a natural next step.

1. Family Skate & Camp Weekends

Imagine a weekend where the kids skate during the day, parents join in (or cheer from the sidelines), and evenings are spent cooking together and watching the sky fade into stars.

These relaxed weekends would pair family-friendly skate sessions with easy-going camping, campfires and space to unwind. No rushing, no pressure — just quality time, wheels rolling and memories made outdoors.

Perfect for: families wanting an active but laid-back break.

2. Beginner Skate & Confidence Retreats

Skateboarding doesn’t have to be intimidating — and these retreats would prove it.

Designed for adult beginners or returners, this multi-day format would focus on confidence, progression and enjoyment, not perfection.

Think instructor-led skate sessions balanced with wellbeing touches like stretching, mobility work and time to relax around the fire. A safe, supportive environment where falling is fine and small wins are celebrated.

Perfect for: adults who always wanted to skate — or want to try again.

3. Creative Skate Camps

Skate culture has always been about more than just skating.

These camps would celebrate that by blending skateboarding with creativity — photography, filming, illustration, music or zine-making.

Days could be split between skating at Canopy and creative workshops inspired by what happens on the ramps, with evenings spent sharing ideas, edits and stories back at camp.

Perfect for: skaters, creatives and anyone who loves documenting the ride.

4. Youth Holiday Skate Camps

School holidays are made for adventure, and these camps would offer young skaters a chance to immerse themselves in skating and the outdoors.

With daily coached skate sessions, supervised camping, outdoor games and space to make new friends, this is the kind of holiday that builds confidence, independence and big smiles.

Perfect for: young skaters looking for an active, confidence-boosting break.

5. Wellbeing & Movement Retreats

What if skateboarding was part of a wider movement practice?

These retreats would combine skating with yoga, breathwork, mobility and nature walks, offering a slower, more reflective pace.

It’s about tuning into your body, trying something playful, and reconnecting — with yourself, with others, and with the natural surroundings of Camp Corve.

Perfect for:  anyone curious about movement, mindfulness and balance.

More Than Events — A Destination

Together, ideas like these turn Camp Corve into more than a place to visit for a session.

They make it a destination — where skateboarding, nature and community come together to create experiences people remember long after they pack up their tent.

Keep an eye on Canopy Skatepark for upcoming events — or better yet, plan a stay and see where the wheels take you.
