Come and join us for our summer training camps. We offer five weeks of camps, open to skaters with at least one year's experience of skating in a competition group, The camps comprise both on and off ice sessions with our head trainer Clémence Chamel (DEJEPS) at the helm. Clémence is joined by Catherine Chamel and trainers from other reputed clubs such as Reims and Cergy, to give a full and varied week of training. Set in the iconic town of Chamonix, home of the Winter Olympics and Mont-Blanc, the camps are the ideal opportunity to progress over the summer holidays and with all the lessons given in French, there's the added bonus of improving their language skills. |

The benefits of figure skating
Figure skating is both a sport that combines technique and artistry. It combines technical precision with grace, musicality and physical strength. Figure skating differs from other forms of skating such as ice dancing and synchronised skating in that it concentrates on jumps, spins, steps and transition movements and dance.
Learning to figure skate has many benefits for both children and adults. Physically the sport helps to develop excellent balance, good reflexes and coordination, as well as helping with postural control.
Skating requires concentration and self discipline - skills that very important in our sport. Learning to follow instructions so they can skate safely, taking responsibility for themselves and learning to be part of a team are all part of the learning experience for our skaters. In addition your child will get to experience the pleasure of skating in front of an audience and the fun of being with their friends.
It is a demanding sport, but one that is full of fun and joy - the freedom of gliding across the ice, the pleasure of skating to music and the pride you feel when you perfect a move - these are the things that we hope each of our skaters will experience.
