Kern River Campout

 September 19th - 22nd, 2025 

A weekend of pure magic. A celebration of five years of the Skate Hunnies community and all the adventures and unforgettable memories along the way.

Sponsored by                   

Weekend Overview

The Skate Hunnies Kern River Campout was our way of celebrating 5 YEARS of Skate Hunnies and honoring how far we’ve come together as a community. We spent 3 days and 3 nights at Kern River, where dropped in together to re-connect, play, and spend quality time in nature. It was a weekend full of activities, reflection, and celebration with all our Hunnies.

Special Programming

This campout was designed to celebrate us, to be centered in play, and to deepen our community bonds.

  • Classic camp-out fun-- rock skippin', crawling out of the tent to the sounds of nature, cracking eggs in the morning sun, and eating fresh mango while you philosophize with friends.

  • Cold plunge mornings and river floating.

  • Campfire vibes (and s'mores, of course).

  • Wellness & intentional movement activities. 

Community Focus

For 5 years, the Skate Hunnies has been about so much more than skating... we’re a community at our core. This weekend honored the founding members, longtime volunteers, collaborators, and our crew who’ve shown up again and again. It was an opportunity to spend meaningful time together, share stories, and deepen the relationships that make our Hive so sweet. 🍯

Accessibility – Creating accessible programming is at the core of what we do. We’ve worked hard to keep this campout at or below the standard cost for a weekend experience like this. Our hope is to make it as accessible as possible. If you deeply want to join but cost is a barrier, reach out—we’ll do our best to find a way to make it work. Also, 0% interest payment plans available over 8 weeks available through Afterpay.

What to Expect at the Campground

We picked one of our favorite Kern River campgrounds. Kern River's Edge will be good balance between just enough outdoorsy grit to make you feel like "I've made it to the wild," and comfortable enough that you don't need to call mom to come pick you up.

 

Here’s what we’ll have on site:

  • Deluxe bathrooms + hot showers

  • Potable water throughout the park

  • Picnic tables + fire pits at every campsite

  • Immediate river access-- like literally, right on the river

  • A shady grove to relax, plopped right in the middle of all our group sites

  • Soooo many lawn games for our competitive folks

  • A convenient campground store that sells river tubes, food, water, and all the essentials.
