Competition Fun Camp, July 20 – 24
Designed for the skater who is new to competing, this camp they will teach routines and provide an overview of what is entailed in attending a local competition. Current newer competitors will explore other ways to compete, such as music interpretation, compulsories and ensemble team. Skaters will also create decorations and logos for a “competition,” which will be held on the last day of camp. Parents and guardians will be invited to watch their skaters compete.
Theater on Ice Camp, July 27 – 31
Skaters will create a group routine that tells a story through props, costumes and choreography. Skaters will help with choreography, props and costuming. This camp is a fan favorite, so don’t miss it! Everyone is invited to watch the full routine on the last day of the week.
