Figure Skating Camp summary
Ridley combines technical skating development with artistry and athlete conditioning. Small-group coaching supports individual progress in jumps, spins, skating skills and performance components.
The experience also includes another chosen Camp Ridley activity, giving athletes a broader camp experience alongside their specialist training.
What is Figure Skating Camp?
Figure Skating Camp is Ridley College’s high-performance training program combining technical skating practice with performance development. Athletes work on jumps, spins, skating skills, power and flow through small-group coaching with Ridley faculty and guest experts.
Off-ice classes cover conditioning, flexibility, dance, mental performance and jump technique. The first week focuses on skating, while the second introduces another Camp Ridley program selected by the athlete.
Why Succeed highlights Figure Skating Camp
Small-group coaching offers individualized attention rather than relying solely on shared ice time.
The training connects jump and spin technique with artistry, skating quality and performance confidence.
Off-ice conditioning, mental performance and injury-prevention work address wider athlete development.
The second-week camp choice adds variety beyond specialist skating practice.
Who is Figure Skating Camp for?
Best for
Skaters who want focused technical feedback, performance development and off-ice training alongside a broader camp experience.
Not ideal if
You want beginner skating instruction or specialist figure skating training throughout both weeks.
Is Figure Skating Camp worth it?
This camp is worth considering when a skater needs a concentrated training block that connects technique, artistry and physical preparation. Small-group coaching and guest expertise make the format especially useful for athletes with clear development goals.
The main limitation is the split between specialist training and another camp activity. Families seeking two full weeks of skating should weigh whether the broader second-week experience matches their priorities.
