What to Expect

Lou & Gib Reese Ice Arena welcomes National Champion and Olympic Medalist, Gracie Gold and Jr Grand Prix Final Medalist, Geoffry Varner for a two-day figure skating training camp. Please note, this is a SATURDAY AND SUNDAY EVENT. On Saturday morning, August 8 from 11:45am-12:45pm, we will have a Meet and Greet and autograph and photo opportunity with our coaching team - a fun way to kick off the weekend! Likewise, Sunday, August 9 from 11:15am - 11:30am you are invited to the closing presentation and have a final opportunity for photos and autographs. These two events are included in cost for camp.

Please review the classes with your private coach to ensure your skater signs up for the most appropriate and beneficial classes for them. The ideal candidate for this camp would be a skater who is landing their loop/flip jump, can do a sit spin, and can complete back 3 turns or anything more difficult than this.

Class Requirements 
How It Works

  1. All classes are sold a la carte and class sizes are limited.

  2. TWO classes will be held at the same time. Register for ONLY ONE class per time slot.

  3. Classes are organized in levels starting with A for the less experienced athletes and C for those who are at the higher levels. In addition, there are classes that are appropriate for all levels. The number in front of the class level indicates what time slot it is in/which classes are at the same time.

  4. You do not need a USFS number to register or participate

  5. If you would like a shirt, please register for this with your registration to ensure we have correct size for your skater. A limited number will be available during camp, however, sizes will not be guaranteed.
