Do you have a young girl that is itching to learn to skate?  A family that wants to learn together? Well, Girls in Space is here to help!  Skate Like a Girl rents Innerspace for two hours so kids and parents can learn to skate.  The whole idea behind Girls In Space is that men and boys can be a part of our girl-positive atmosphere.

Clinics are from 10am-12pm. We start at 10:10 am sharp, so come at 10 am to check-in and put on gear.  After the clinic volunteer instructors are still around to cheer you on and give you tips.

Are you a gal that has already logged sometime on skateboard, and you just want to roll around the ramps?  Well, we have Free Skate time from 11am – 12pm.

Costs: $15 for a clinic, $5 for drop-in skate, $5 to borrow gear.  (family rates available)
