At the camp, you'll have the chance to skate on the unique 111.12 meters track with the only floating pad system in the United States, as well as on the fastest ice on earth - the 400m Oval sheet, and participate in other sport activities.

The camp's exciting program encompasses the Desert Classic competition, four hours of on-ice sessions daily, 2-3 hours of off-ice training, and specific classroom sessions each day to enhance your skills, knowledge and delevopment.
