What is the Community Project ?

Born from the heart of the global skating community, this project centers on a donation system designed to help thousands of low-income children around the world fulfill their dream of attending Blading Camp. Throughout 2021, we received hundreds of donations and supported large groups of children from places like Bulgaria, Poland, Serbia, UK, Spain, Peru and Colombia, but you can donate or apply as sponsored no matter what country you are from!We can proudly say that the project was a success.

For 2026, we aim to break our donation record and bring as many children as possible to the camp.

There´s two roles on this project the Big Brother and the Sponsored Camper:

Big Brother: Donates the quantity they wish to help. No amount is too small and everything helps!
Sponsored Camper: Will receive the money needed to buy their flights/travel costs and pay for the camp.

Want to become a Big Brother?

It’s simple, donate any amount you feel comfortable giving. Your donation will help riders and families from all over the world who cannot afford it. We will announce where your money is going. 100% crystal clear through the entire process! The quantity is not important just the action!

Want to become a Sponsored Camper? 

We want to know who you are! What’s your story with skating? Where are you from? Why should you be one of the sponsored campers to join us?

*Please remember this is for families and riders who truly cannot afford to come or need a little extra help with travel expenses.

**Our coaches and staff will be reading and choosing the riders who will be joining. All will be announced on our social media platform and by newsletter. Partial scholarships are given too depending on the needs of the family.

Timeline of the project

• April 26, 2018 

Today, we had a great surprise. A guy named Deniz sent us 100€ to support Blading Camp. “I love your project but I can’t come this year. Take this money and give it to someone who needs it to help them come and live the dream.” From this beautiful gesture it sparked the idea of the Community Project!

The project since has grown and we’ve given more than 5,000 euros in donations helping riders with their flights and travel fees.

• March 1st, 2021

We are very proud to announce that the project is now expanding in collaboration with THEM SKATES, and Jon Julions’ CommUnitE Project. “A MONTHLY percentage of @themskates Communit-E sales distributed to the skating community’s local events, organizations, skate scenes.”
