Join us for Saugerties Figure Skating Camp!
We accommodate all levels and abilities from Learn to Skate to freestyle and competitive skaters
LEARN TO SKATE:
• Ages 5+
Our camp focuses on developing the fundamentals of skating for all levels in a fun, low-pressure environment. The on-ice curriculum revolves around skill-based games and drills designed to build a skater’s individual skill and strength. Skaters will be divided by level on the ice. Whether your child is a complete beginner or dreams of an Olympic future, there is a place for them here!
• Freestyle and competitive skaters
This level is geared toward our higher-level figure skaters, with an aim to build skill, strength, and confidence on the ice. We will emphasize proper jump and spin technique as well as a skater’s overall edge quality in a fun group environment. Off-ice classes will focus on building the muscle groups and areas of flexibility that are most important for a skater.
