Rochester Area Junior Roller Derby is excited to host a 6 week long summer boot camps for skaters of any gender that are new (or newer) to roller derby aged 8-16! (Ages may be flexible, if you know a highly motivated skater that’s a different age, contact us!)
A minimum of 10 skaters is required for camp to run, up to a maximum of 20 skaters can be enrolled in camp.
The $150 cost includes the loan of skates, helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wristguards which you maintain over the 6 week camp, then return to RAJRD, as well as a new SISU brand mouthguard for skaters to keep.
Each 3 hour session will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6PM-9PM.

Additionally, fully registered and paid participants will be invited to an individual registration and gear fitting on a Wednesday or Saturday prior to the start of camp. We will help skaters try on gear, mold mouth guards, and ensure paperwork is completed. Exact dates and timing will be determined once payment is recorded.
