This summer, Camp Ridley invites competitive figure skaters from across Canada and around the world to immerse themselves in an elite training experience!
This camp is intended for skaters at the Skate Canada STAR 5 and STAR 6 level or an international equivalent, meaning participants will be working on developing and refining double jumps. It is ideal for:
- Pre-Podium and Podium Pathway skaters
- Athletes seeking an intensive, structured and supportive summer training block
- Skaters interested in high-performance development while experiencing an enriching boarding environment
- Canadian and international skaters looking to elevate their training and broaden their experiences
In the first week of camp, athletes will train up to 3 hours per day on the ice, guided by Ridley’s coaching faculty and guest experts. Sessions emphasize technical refinement in jumps and spins, quality of skating skills, power, flow and performance components. Small-group coaching ensures athletes receive individualized attention, while programme development sessions help them strengthen the artistry, detail and confidence needed to compete at any level.
Off the ice, skaters participate in a range of classes that support their development as complete athletes. Strength and conditioning, flexibility training, dance, mental performance and off-ice jump workshops provide the foundation for long-term progress and injury prevention.
Once figure skating training has concluded, athletes will spend the second week of camp participating in an additional Camp Ridley programme of their choosing.
