Extra Camp Details

All campers are divided into groups based on 1) Moves in the Field Tests 2) Jumps Landed 3) Age. All campers must complete these required fields during the registration process to ensure we are placing all campers in the correct groups.

Roommate requests are also part of the registration process. If two skaters wish to be roommates, they must EACH request the other skater on their registrations. If no roommate request is designated or if BOTH skaters do not request each other, our staff will place the skater(s) with a roommate.

All final room assignments are determined at the discretion of the camp director. All rooming assignments are based on double occupancy as provided by the University. Triple roommate requests are not accepted but may need to occur due to university needs and cannot be requested by campers.

Private Lessons

A team of highly qualified coaches leads Private Lessons. Lessons are available in all disciplines, including freestyle, ice dance, moves in the field, and choreography during freestyle sessions. Private lesson costs are separate from the “Camp Fees.” Information will be provided via email in mid-June and requests must be returned by the stated deadline.
