Our Origin Story

Why We Built This

Rocket can skate anywhere. He always could. That was never the problem.I wanted him to have a place, not just somewhere that lets him in. Somewhere he grows up in. Somewhere he bonds with people and I know their parents by name. So we built Giant Rocket's Foundation.

Where Giant Rockets Launch

Giant Rocket's Foundation is its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit. A board leads it, and proceeds go to Giant Rocket's Foundation programs. Our sessions happen at 2015 Campus Drive in St. Charles, MO, in space the foundation uses for its programs.

Where your money goes

When a family pays for sessions, that money pays for sessions. It pays coaches and buys gear and supplies.

Gifts and ticket sales pay for scholarships, rides, and gear. That way cost never keeps a Giant Rocket home.

Pull Up Sensory Sessions

The Launchpad

Pull Up Sensory Sessions are safe sessions with a plan. This is where Giant Rockets grow. Two programs, skating and gardening. Music and art run through both. One pass covers it all.

1
Skating

We teach skating step by step in a safe, calm space. Every Giant Rocket builds balance and grows brave, one lap at a time. We give out helmets and pads.

2
Gardening

STEM-to-Gardening. Raised beds, soil science, seed starting, composting. Table gardening is part of every session. Builds patience, cause-and-effect, and sensory engagement.
