Normally, campers get an instructional session on skates with Danny before we head to the park. However, due to the rain, our first skate session was today at the park but you’d never have guessed! These rippers were skating around like pros in no-time. Johnson Skate Park is located in Johnson, Vermont about thirty minutes from the Round Hearth.
This is the furthest bus trip we make during camp but it sure is worth it. The park has a number of obstacles and terrain such as a large bowl, rails, rollers etc. At first campers are generally timid around some of the larger obstacles but by the end of the session they are speeding through the rollers and by the end, skaters are trying new skills and testing their limits. Safely learning to test limits is a a fundamental element of coming to camp at SDSC. We also set up cone SL/GS courses so campers can practice the B.A.S.E fundamentals that we’ve been working on all week and apply them to a ski specific scenario. Looking forward to Eric’s session on Agility this afternoon!
