Skate camps

Find camps for kids and teens interested in honing skills in ice skating including both power and figure skating. Camps in Canada can include instruction from professional figure skaters and power skating teachers; kids inevitably improve skating skills with the concentrated attention they receive.

Hockey schools can run in-camp power skating camps for all levels from novice to expert. Even professional hockey players participate in and understand the value of a skating camp to help them improve their skating. Players are trained according to a professional power skating system and skills focus will include increasing foot speed, improving ankle strength and other subtle techniques to increase speed, strength and power. Weight training and physical training may focus on trimming leg muscles and other unnecessary weight.

Figure skating programs
Many arenas offer summer and winter skating programs for figure skaters, special figure skating classes and off-ice training. Many skating camps offer group classes for intermediate and advanced figure skaters. Camps will teach skaters basic ice skating skills, but many camps concentrate on more advanced skills such as ice dancing, choreography, jumps, spins and other skills. Camps may also include a skills competition and a camp-ending ice show.
