The Women's Skate Retreat 2026 is designed to be one of them.


From 14th–16th August 2026, women from across the UK will gather at Camp Corve and Canopy Skatepark on the Isle of Wight for a weekend dedicated to skateboarding, wellbeing, creativity and connection. Set amongst peaceful woodland and open countryside, this unique retreat offers the chance to step away from everyday life and immerse yourself in an experience that nurtures confidence, friendship and personal growth.


Whether you're stepping onto a skateboard for the very first time or you're already an experienced skater looking to progress your skills, the retreat provides a welcoming and supportive environment where every participant is encouraged to learn, challenge themselves and celebrate every achievement.



But this retreat is about far more than skateboarding.

A Weekend to Reconnect

Modern life rarely gives us the opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply and focus on ourselves.


The Women's Skate Retreat was created to offer exactly that.


Across three carefully curated days, you'll find a balance of movement, learning, relaxation and community. Mornings begin surrounded by nature, with fresh air and time to reset before the day ahead. Throughout the weekend you'll enjoy skate sessions designed to build confidence and progression, while also connecting with like-minded women who share a passion for creativity, adventure and personal growth.

The atmosphere is relaxed, inclusive and uplifting, allowing everyone to participate at their own pace.



Whether you're travelling solo or arriving with friends, you'll quickly become part of a supportive community that encourages, inspires and celebrates one another.

Progression Without Pressure

At the heart of the retreat is skateboarding.


Hosted alongside Canopy Skatepark, one of the Isle of Wight's most respected skateboarding communities, participants will have access to coaching, guidance and support throughout the weekend.


The focus isn't competition.

It's progression.


Every trick landed, every fear overcome and every personal milestone achieved is celebrated. The retreat creates a safe environment where women can develop new skills, build resilience and gain confidence both on and off the board.



For many participants, the confidence gained through skateboarding extends far beyond the skatepark itself.

Wellness, Creativity and Connection

While skateboarding provides the foundation for the weekend, the retreat experience extends much further.


Guests can unwind through yoga sessions designed to improve mobility, balance and wellbeing. Healing practices offer moments of reflection and relaxation, while creative workshops encourage self-expression and personal discovery.


As the sun begins to set, the retreat takes on an entirely different energy.


Campfires crackle beneath the evening sky. Stories are shared. New friendships are formed. Laughter echoes through the woodland as guests enjoy nourishing food and meaningful conversations.


These moments often become the memories participants cherish most.


The Women's Skate Retreat isn't simply about learning new skills; it's about creating space for connection, both with others and with yourself.

Why the Isle of Wight is the Perfect Retreat Destination

The Isle of Wight has long been known for its natural beauty, slower pace of life and sense of escape.

Camp Corve embraces everything that makes the island special.


Surrounded by countryside and woodland, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for a weekend focused on wellbeing and reconnection. The combination of outdoor spaces, nature-led accommodation and easy access to Canopy Skatepark creates a retreat experience unlike anything else in the UK skateboarding community.



It's a place where adventure and relaxation exist side by side.

Stay Your Way

One of the unique aspects of the Women's Skate Retreat is the variety of accommodation options available.


Guests can choose the experience that suits them best, whether that's camping beneath the stars, glamping in comfort or staying in one of Camp Corve's accommodation options.


By staying on-site, participants can fully immerse themselves in the retreat atmosphere and make the most of every activity, conversation and connection throughout the weekend.

Come Solo, Leave Connected

Many women attend retreats alone.

In fact, some of the strongest friendships are formed that way.


The Women's Skate Retreat has been created as a safe and empowering environment where everyone feels welcome. No matter your age, experience level or background, you'll find a community ready to support and encourage you.

By the end of the weekend, you'll leave with more than improved skateboarding skills.



You'll leave with renewed confidence, lasting memories, meaningful friendships and a sense of connection that continues long after the retreat ends.
