Area 51 Skatepark offering Skate Camp for the summer

Greg "Frog" White is offering skate camp this summer at Area 51 skatepark. It cost $175 a week and is limited to 20 skaters. It includes all day skating for a week and a trip to a well known skatepark (Louisville Extreme Park-- DC Skate Plaza) . The skate camp is a great idea and more towns around the country need to build more skateparks and offer skate camps for the summer. There is a lady in California trying to get the government to quit building fast food restaurants because the kids are getting too obese in California. West Virginia is also on the list as the #2 fattest state. I have a solution. Build more skateparks, offer more skate camps, and your children won't have an obesity problem. It's a no brainer
