In DEAN’s Velocity Studio, campers channel their adventurous spirit into action-packed outdoor experiences that build confidence, responsibility, and resilience. Every day brings a new challenge designed to spark curiosity and teamwork. Campers cheer each other on as they tackle obstacle courses, explore eco-adventures, and even construct their own camp spaces, creating friendships that grow as strong as their skills. With professional-grade equipment, safety gear, and supportive instructors, campers can safely push their limits while discovering the joy of movement and the power of collaboration.
Skills Learned
Each week, campers engage in outdoor adventures and physical challenges, learning key skills and mindsets. The specific skills taught vary by program, giving each camper the chance to explore different aspects of Velocity programs:
- Foundation Skills: Skateboard construction and riding to slackline balance.
- Technical Abilities: Managing equipment safely and mastering new moves through focus and practice, with weekly themes allowing campers to dive deeper into specialized areas
As they explore and challenge themselves, campers strengthen essential character skills:
- Collaboration: Supporting teammates and cheering each other on through challenges
- Resilience and Self-Regulation: Overcoming obstacles, bouncing back from setbacks, and building confidence through perseverance
By the end of the week, campers leave with new outdoor skills, stronger physical abilities, and the confidence that comes from pushing their limits in a safe, supportive environment.

Programs
Embark on an adventure with Velocity Programs! In addition to crafting personalized skateboards, mastering skateboarding skills, exploring parkour, and conquering slacklining, each week brings an exciting new themed activity for an exhilarating experience!
Multisport Mashup: Ready to discover your new favorite sport? In Multisport Mashup, campers get to try a mix of exciting games, from the precision of disc golf to the fast-paced fun of flag rugby and the rapid rallies of pickleball. Through friendly competition, they'll practice respect for teammates and opponents alike while practicing perseverance and resilience as they master the nuances of each game. Whether they’re picking up new skills or refining old ones, campers will be encouraged to embrace every challenge with a positive attitude and the drive to keep getting better!
But that's not all! As part of the Velocity Studio, campers will develop their skateboarding skills, whether seasoned pro or first-time on wheels. Best of all — they’ll build their own skateboard that they can take home at the end of the week! Velocity campers are also challenged to persevere as they step outside their comfort zone, make bold choices, and create friendships through resilience-building activities like slacklining obstacle courses and collaborative team-building games.
Camp Construction: You know how the saying goes, If you build it…there will be fun! Aspiring builders learn to create impressive A-frames, bridges, and towers through the use of ropes, knot tying, lashing, and wood oh my! Campers will love climbing, and crawling across their hand-built structures!
Eco Explorers: In this week's camp theme campers will transform into nature detectives! Campers will train in plant and animal identification, learn to recognize various species, and understand how to respectfully interact with nature. Scavenger hunts will challenge them to use their observational prowess while practicing responsible natural exploration, such as Leave No Trace, to become savvy eco-explorers. They’ll even craft their own bird feeder, bringing a piece of the wilderness to life right in your backyard.
