For kids gunning to hop on board and learn a few new tricks, Square State Skate is an obvious choice. Skate programs run year round, including both Saturday sessions and full day camps on days when BVSD is closed for holidays, breaks or teacher work days. The program “teach[es] skills necessary for skateboarding-balance, confidence, determination and problem solving — and then help[s] transfer those skills off of the board as well.” Square State provides students the chance to spend those all-important, after-school hours meeting new friends, exploring the community and building newfound confidence.
Boulder Karate
Offering classes for kids aged 4-12, Boulder Karate gives kids the opportunity to learn practical self-defense skills while getting out all of their energy in a profoundly positive way. On top of learning Shaolin Kempo Karate, which “combines the circular, fluid motion of Chinese Kung Fu and linear, powerful movements of Japanese Karate,” students will explore Boulder Karate’s five core values: Attitude, Integrity, Respect, Self Control and Heart. Classes are split by age and experience level, so students get to progress at a comfortable, no-pressure pace.
