Each day is broken up into off ice and on ice classes that focus on different areas that will help improve them both as all around skaters and also for particular skills. So far they have had:
Warm-up time,
Off ice conditioning and stretching,
On ice edge class,
On ice spin class,
On ice power class,
another on ice edge class
then a hip-hop style dance class (which dealt with some choreography),
and freestyle/open skate time where they can practice all the great stuff they have been learning and working on.
They are completely wiped out, BUT they LOVE IT!!! They still have a turns class, another spins class, another dance class, and artistry (fluidity on the ice both with and without music) to look forward to for the next 2 days. It has been a blast watching them really work hard on some skills they felt were out of their reach and with this intense focus they are blossoming in those skills.
Our rink is also offering what they are calling Summer Skating School where they can sign up for these classes and more to help improve their skills. There are like 8 weeks of Summer Skating School going on so I think we are going to try and hit week 4 (last week of this month) and then we'll see what we can do for July.
What are your kids doing for camp this year? Have they ever been ice skating??
