I highly recommend coach Chris Hyland who runs the ice dance camp. Sounds perfect to improve overall skating and possibly forming dance teams! Crown actually seems to have several figure skating boys :)

I was sad to see there is a three week minimum--we will be in Chicago/Evanston for one of the weeks and I would love to do a week of the camp!

That seemed like a pretty big commitment until I read that it is not a daily thing.   But still, bummer since you are visiting.

The day clinic being offered looks interesting as well.  Has anyone ever attended the adult day clinic?  I'm always looking for adult clinics, I only wish this was closer to home :)

The adult clinic at my rink is a single day event (5 hours?) on a Saturday in August.
It's a lot of fun with coaches who understand adults well, and good stamina usually helps ;D

Just realized the registration form states that "in the last few weeks of camp, skaters will have the opportunity to take both ISI and USFS tests. In August, all camp participants may perform in the annual End of Summer Exhibition".

Quite curious if the testing will be conducted directly during camp time, I am signing up after all. :)
