Summer Camp (Ages 12-17) Advanced
Join the Rose City Rollers on the track for a week of
Junior Roller Derby Summer Camp!
At Roller Derby Summer Camp, campers will spend part of the day on skates learning derby skills and strategy, and part of the day doing off-skates activities like some awesome arts and crafts!
Our Week 5 Advanced Derby Camp will be staffed by skaters from the Wheels of Justice!
Week 5 is designed for experienced skaters who are ready to elevate their game through high-level instruction, competitive drills, and advanced gameplay strategy. The Wheels of Justice, Rose City’s reigning 5-time world champion WFTDA all-star travel team, will lead the camp and share the skills and insights they use at the highest levels of roller derby.
Campers will work directly with some of the sport’s most accomplished athletes, including jammer skills instruction from Bonnie Thunders, game strategy sessions with Morgan Levy, and special off-skate strategy analysis and breakdown sessions with RollsMary’s Baby.
On the track, skaters will focus on edge work, agility, and speed development, along with advanced blocking and jamming techniques. Campers will also participate in small-group skill sessions, scenario-based drills, and controlled scrimmage play while receiving direct feedback from Wheels of Justice athletes.
This is a rare opportunity for developing skaters to train with world-class competitors, gain insight into elite-level gameplay, and leave with new tools to take their derby to the next level.
