Adult Skating Camps - USA 2007 *Updated*

[newskaker5]

Does anyone know if the dates for the adult camps at Ice house or Lake Placid for the summer have been announced? I'd love to attend one or both if I can! Thanks!

[jcookie1982]

I'd like to attend the Ice house camp this year also, so any information would be helpful.

[lovepairs]

The August Adult Week at Lake Placid is August 19-25th. I don't know what the July one is. The reason why I know this is because I'm putting together an "Adult Pairs Clinic" with the Protopopovs for the August week.

[das_mondlicht]

They don't have this year's flyer up yet. This was last year Ice House Adult Camp link (http://www.icehousenj.com/fskating_Camps.htm). Schedule is always around the last weekend of June. Last year, I made the plan to go but was tighted up at work and had to miss it again.

The August Adult Week at Lake Placid is August 19-25th. I don't know what the July one is. The reason why I know this is because I'm putting together an "Adult Pairs Clinic" with the Protopopovs for the August week.

The other date is June 10-17th...

I am going to both since I usually work on figures.......

[DallasSkater]

Are you sure Ice House is having one this year? Web site has nothing about it. I am thinking about it. Maybe will consider the lake placid one if NJ does not have one. Has anyone ever done this? How much ice time is typically included? Looks like the lake placid one has a entry fee then classes are extra. Do you get ice time for the entry fee?

Would love to hear from anyone who has participated about the experience and the cost effectiveness of this.

[Isk8NYC]

Someone had said that the Ice House in Hackensack wasn't certain about the Adult Camp being held this year. http://www.skatingforums.com/showthread.php?t=21039&page=2&highlight=hackensack+camp
They don't have the kids' camp flyer up as yet, either.

I wonder if the Ice Vault in Wayne, NJ might offer an adult camp this year?
I stopped teaching and skating there, so I'm out of touch.

There was also a post about another adult camp in Atlanta, Georgia in early June of last year. It was hosted by the Atlanta Figure Skating Club (http://www.xcelventures.com/afsc). Anyone know if they're planning an adult camp again this year?

Didn't Aspen host two camps last year?

[Skate@Delaware]

aw man!!! I can't go in june because of my son's schedule, and I have something else obligating my time in August...

Mt. Pleasant in Baltimore is having their one-day adult thing again-I can make that (it's only one day)...cant remember the day but I think it is June 3rd (I will check and repost).

[newskaker5]

I received an email today from the Ice House that the dates for the Adult Training Camp this year are June 29-July 1, 2007 :)

[Scarlett]

Thanks for the update. I had so much fun last year. I'm definitely planning on going back.

[DallasSkater]

Looks like I will be going to Lake Placid adult camp in June...anyone else going?
Still trying to get them to respond for additional information. If anyone has a favorite place to stay or anything that is a must do there...I am all ears!
Everything I have googled looks great! But always nice to hear from folks that have been to a place first.

I am excited as I more typically take a cruise in June. This will be something different!

[MusicSkateFan]

Depending on the Coach/Special Guest line up, I may go to the Hackensack camp. I was unable to go last year due to Surgery but heard I didn't miss much. I thought the year before was helpfull. I got Robin Wagner to sign the bottom of my right boot!

From the Lake Placid summer schedule, it looks like they finally took out the Lussi rink (where patch has always been). Patch is still on the schedule - 1:00 pm on the 1932 rink. The Lussi rink used to have two daily patch times - bummer!

Plus, that was such a great little rink.

[Isk8NYC]

The Ice House in Hackensack, NJ has scheduled an
Adult Training Camp for June 29 - July 1, 2007.

Info and Application are HERE (http://frozenpond.homestead.com/2007_Ice_House_Adult_Training_Camp.pdf).

[LWalsh]

I see in the announcement for the camp at Ice House that there is a Choreography and Critique sessions on the first day. Does anyone know anything more about this? It says it is limited to three skaters.

[LWalsh]

Never mind I just found it. It says that Nikolia Morosov and staff will critique programs and offer help with choreography. How cool is that???

I am not so sure about that...the building project has been put on hold from what my sources are telling me. I sent off an e-mail this morning to friends up there and asked them to find out what the story is....

Stay tuned........

Notice that John Zimmerman is going to be there this year? ;) He wasn't there last year.

Nicolai Morozov is also going to be there.

[TimDavidSkate]

OMG 8O I am soooo there!!! :P
Im so excited that I'm numb and my heart's racing :halo:

[RoaringSkates]

Tim, I may attend. I'll be doing dance, so we likely won't be on the same ice - you'll be doing freestyle, yes? But if I see you, I'll be sure to say "Hi!"

[TimDavidSkate]

yes Im doing freestyle ;) I just submitted my registration via fax :D yes please do say hi 8-)

[Stormy]

I am SO there this year!! How can I pass up the chance to see Miki Ando?! Wheeee!

[MusicSkateFan]

MOROZOV!

Cool, I really want to go if he is going to be there. I may just go ahead and sign up soon and hope for the best that he doesnt back out of it!

[jazzpants]

MOROZOV!

Cool, I really want to go if he is going to be there. I may just go ahead and sign up soon and hope for the best that he doesnt back out of it!NOW I'm tempted!!!! :twisted: (I should have my Free Program done then... let's see what Morozov thinks of my primary coach as a choreographer? :twisted: :P )

[NoVa Sk8r]

I'm hoping to go, either in pairs or singles ... 8-)

[Terri C]

I'm tempted to say yes, with one stipulation:
I have to pass my Bronze free in order to attend.
Then again, I blew $$$ yesterday for a new computer, so we'll see how it turns out.

[RoaringSkates]

I may have done the Fiesta Tango test by then - or not. But I'm thinking I'll attend.

[auntlala3]

Right now I am in Adult 3 and I am thinking about going to the Hackensack Camp.

For the recreational skater how is this camp?

[RoaringSkates]

I did ice dance last year, so I was on a different rink from the recreational skaters. However, I saw them working on their rink during my breaks. They'd split their group into levels - with the more beginning skaters all in one class. From what I could tell, there were other skaters at your level, and they seemed to be having fun.

[Isk8NYC]

Floyd Hall Arena in Little Falls, NJ is holding a Skating Seminar from April 16 - 27, 2007. The special guest coach is Alexei Mishin. While the clinics being held are pretty high-level (doubles, etc), the agenda does include lower-level skaters. It's open to pre-adults and adults.

I heard back from one of my skating club members in Lake Placid and the Lussi Rink will be up and running this summer for all us patchers!!:bow: :bow:

[Emberchyld]

Right now I am in Adult 3 and I am thinking about going to the Hackensack Camp.

For the recreational skater how is this camp?

I thought it was a great experience. Last year, I couldn't even STOP properly when I went in :lol: and I still got so much out of it. Everyone was so supportive and when I couldn't do what was taught, they adapted to my level. I learned so much in that camp that I still refer back to now (most of my warm-up has now been blatantly stolen from the class Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernechev (sp?) taught, and every time I spin, I think of Edward's advice.

Just make sure to speak up when you can't do something, and usually you'll be given something that will challenge you-- to your level. I was literally the worst one there-- and I loved it.

Unless I manage to get injured AGAIN (heaven forbid-- knock on wood!), I'll be there!

[DallasSkater]

Wow, sounds like Hackensack camp is getting high praise. I chose Lake Placid after considering both. Hope I did not make a mistake! But I just thought it would be wonderful to see Lake Placid as I have been to NJ but not up state NY!

Will be interested in hearing all about it after!

[Tessa]

I'm considering the Hackensack camp, but do you HAVE to be there at 8:00 am and do the full day? I'm a total wimp and my stamina isn't that great right now and I worry I'd get too tired. I could maybe get there by 10:00 am. And this all depends on if I feel I have the right skating outfits. Or if I feel too fat.

Would love to hear more details from all of you who have been in past years. And will talk to coach about it tomorrow. Highest test I've passed is prelim moves and highest consistent jump is loop. Can sometimes do flip and the lutz is but a dream. Oh and my toe loop and waltz jumps suck!

Dont worry, my stamina is non existent, I rely on Red Bull on picking my energy up :giveup: :halo:

I recommend that you do get there for the 8am start, because they seem to start with warm up and etc., and those exercises are very useful. But no, you don't have to skate or dance the entire time - actually, they work in breaks. I didn't feel too exhausted at the end of the day, and I'm no poster child for physical fitness. I felt tired, but not wiped, and even after the Saturday, I felt I could skate on the Sunday. I did make sure to stretch very well both nights, and I did a warm down after I skated for the day. That may have helped. I also took an Aleve at the start of each day, for my back, which is a land of constant sorrow.

One lady in my group would sit out when she needed to. She even took the entire last session of each day off, just sitting aside and watching. That didn't seem to be a problem. So if you need rest periods, or decide to cut it short one day, or to cut out specific on or off ice workouts, you can do so.

aw man!!! I can't go in june because of my son's schedule, and I have something else obligating my time in August...

Mt. Pleasant in Baltimore is having their one-day adult thing again-I can make that (it's only one day)...cant remember the day but I think it is June 3rd (I will check and repost).

I just found out the sad news that the Mt. Pleasant adult seminar in Baltimore is CANCELLED this year. The rink will be closing for the summer after May 5 due to energy costs that are 67% higher than last year, reopening in the fall, probably close to Labor Day. FYI, closing the rink was not the decision of the pros teaching at the seminar.

[Isk8NYC]

Awww, I was planning to send in my registration for the Mt. Pleasant seminar this week. Thanks for letting us know, Mikawendy.

[Scarlett]

Darnit...I just sent my registration in. Thank you for the update though.

Oooo, boy, rental skates included!! :twisted:

Probably not going anywhere this year due to finances (had been planning on Sun Valley), but can people report back on the ice dance track at Ice House? Like, what they work on, if they're doing mainly low/mainly high stuff, etc? Any partnering work? That might be a good option in the future.

[Isk8NYC]

Oooo, boy, rental skates included!! :twisted: I didn't notice that - how cute! Hey, whatever it takes to keep adding newbies, right?

I did the camp in Sun Valley last year and it was fantastic -- I will definitely be going again this year.

There is some partnering work, but it's limited. I did get to partner with Peter T, though, so ;) :bow:

They do both low and high stuff. We moved from basic stroking to swing rolls to chasses (stuff even the elite continue to work on) up to rockers and twizzles and etc. We worked on elements from specific dances, as well as choreography in general.

hmmmm, i know it's in the evening, but it's during the week.....so we can't go. Too bad Aston isn't in the running anymore! What ever happened to theirs????

[newskaker5]

Question for those of you who went to Ice house last year:
I REALLY want to do the competitive track since I think it will be more intensive and that is what I want. However, I have yet to compete/test. I know the Pre-Pre/ Pre-Bronze MITF and most of the Prel/Bronze MITF. I can do thru a lutz and will hopefully soon be working on an axel. Would I be appropriate for the competitive group? Is it OK to be in that group if you want to compete in the very near future but havent yet? Or should I stick with the rec track? Thanks!

[Mrs Redboots]

We moved from basic stroking to swing rolls to chasses (stuff even the elite continue to work on) Tell me about it!

Our elites are currently doing some of the exact same exercises that we did all winter and still do now. It is even worse when you hear the corrections they're getting on them, when you already know that your waltz 3s look nothing like his waltz 3s, your variable-speed cross-rolls are flat and pathetic compared to hers, and your chassés in waltz hold bear no relation at all to theirs?

[JulieN]

I did the camp in Sun Valley last year and it was fantastic -- I will definitely be going again this year.
I'm seriously considering doing Sun Valley this year. How is the split between Dance and Freestyle? From the schedule, it looks more dance oriented but still have a good amount of freestyle, which would be perfect for me! :)
