Camps
Evolve’s Ottawa Scooter Camp takes your kids on an Ottawa-wide tour of different skateparks all summer, with a new location every day of the week! Our buses are on the road by 7:30 in the morning to pick up campers from a convenient pickup spot near you, then transport them to a skatepark for the day. Campers work side-by-side with our qualified coaches to develop a strong scootering foundation throughout the week. Each day campers receive personalized instruction and participate in lots of other fun activities to ensure the ultimate Evolve experience. This program is designed for boys and girls aged 7-14 and welcomes all skill levels.
Every day campers get to visit a different skatepark. This ensure that all campers are getting a completely unique experience while challenging their skills in a new environment each day.
Evolve’s Ottawa Scooter Camp pickup locations are comprehensively located throughout our network in the Ottawa area. We’re a dynamic program, adding pickup spots as we add campers. We operate one to two routes, depending which pick up locations are available that week. If you don’t see a spot close to where you live, don’t fret! We’re working on it. Check out where we pick up in your neighbourhood!

Lessons
Campers spend several hours per day working with their instructors on new skills.
Yoga & Stretching
It’s all about connecting ourselves to the earth — and in this case, this also includes our scooters! Every morning before campers get going with their program, one of our instructors leads them through a basic yoga stretching session.
Swimming
Anytime there is a pool near the skatepark, we take our campers for some well-deserved cool down time. Pool costs are included in camp fees, so any camper with a bathing suit and towel is welcome to jump in! Swimming is always supervised by lifeguards as well as Evolve Camps staff members.
Prizes & Giveaways
Throughout the week campers can win a variety of prizes from our sponsors as well as scooter related swag and parts (wheels, grip tape etc). Prizes are given out as rewards for achievements such as camper progression, camper of the day, and for having a good attitude. Sometimes, everybody wins!
Contests
Throughout the week, campers will get to participate in contests and other camp organized events. Evolve organizes mini-competitions to encourage campers to practice and develop themselves to their highest potential.
Guest Pros
Evolve invites guest professional coaches to show up at camp throughout the summer. They inspire and instruct campers plus give away unique swag and prizes.
Photos & Videos
Evolve Camps produces a weekly highlight video from each session. We also post lots of videos and pictures on our social media. This is the best way to see what we were up to throughout the week.
Lessons
Evolve’s Ottawa Scooter Lessons operate out of Legacy Skatepark. Campers are dropped off at the park and work side-by-side with our qualified coaches on their scooter riding skills!
Ottawa Scooter Lessons’ plans are designed for boys and girls aged 7-14, from beginner to intermediate skill levels. Evolve ensures kids are being challenged, engaged and can make the most of their time with us; regardless of their initial skill level. Our Lesson programs are designed to take place over the course of 6 weeks, allowing participants to develop new skills at a progressive rate.
During spring, Evolve’s Ottawa Scooter Lessons takes place in May & June at Legacy Skatepark, located on Woodroffe Ave, south of Baseline Rd, Ottawa, ON.
