Fourth Annual High Sierra Adult Skating Camp
May 20-24,2015
South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena -- South Lake Tahoe, CA
https://highsierraadultskatecamp.wordpress.com/
How many hours do you all tend to spend on the ice at these clinics? Seemed a lot of hours in skates! I'd like to do the one at the Ice House in Hackensack.
Floyd Hall Arena in NJ is planning summer clinics of some sort (including dance); I'll post details when I find out more.
Hackensack hasn't offered a camp in several years. I think Floyd Hall is more likely to host an adult camp these days since they have adult LTS and summer evening workshops.
Oh too bad. Anything good go on in Manhattan usually?
Sky Rink is the only year-round Manhattan rink. They do have summer skating camps, but they're not specifically geared towards adults. You'd have to contact the skating director to find out if they allow adults - some programs are solely focused on under-18.
Ha yeah I realized that after I wrote it!
Interesting: an adult Figures group lesson

ADULT Figure Class
• Class for skaters 18 & over, teaching basic techniques of compulsory figures.
• Skaters must have passed Delta to enroll
Nazareth Ice Oasis
Redwood City, CA
Wednesday mornings, January 14 - March 4 - 8 weeks
10:30am to 11:00am Adult Figure Workshop $120.00

They have had this class on their normal schedule for a while! I imagine it is a good one - I took nearly 12 wks of lessons at that rink when I was in the area for work last summer/fall, and they have a great staff
Regarding sky rink in manhattan they do a great summer Saturday mornings program called adult black diamond:
http://www.chelseapiers.com/sr/skating-school/adult-black-diamond-schedule-summer.cfm
It is a range of skill levels and all are made to feel welcome with great coaches.
30 min off ice class followed by 30 minutes on ice class followed by 90 min freestyle ice with often only about 6 people on the ice.
Skill level starts at delta and includes skaters working on axels. The "average" adult skater there is working on one foot spins, sit spins and single jumps.

Sounds like it would be great! Do you have to have passed delta or be learning delta? (I'm working on beta and delta skills right now.)
I'm not sure about the test passed issue. I would email sky rink and ask. The rink also does a Monday night "adult skate night" starting at beginner levels up to fs5. But you only get partial ice for lessons and have to share warmup ice with hockey learn to skate. But it is the only adult only program fall through spring.
Sounds like the adult skate night might be a better fit for me right now, but I'm going to keep both of them in mind!
Lake Placid has posted their 2015 adult week/weekend dates:
June 18-21, 2015- Adult Skating Weekend
August 16-22, 2015- Adult Skating Week
@cw_skater do you have a link for Lake Placid?
Adult Skate Night at SkyRink is okay. Depends on who's coaching your level and they rotate coaches. They do have the Black Diamond Adult Saturday mornings in the summer and you have full ice for most of it (and it's a lot of great ice time) but its fairly advanced. Again, liked it when I gel'd with the coach (he was great). Then there was a sub....

I went many years ago before I took a long skating hiatus and it was great.
I just got informed by the head coach of my secondary club, that he (Igor Sinyutin) will be having a summer camp. He coaches in Russian style, and while the camp will most likely be geared toward children adults are always welcomed.
Location: Jaca, Spain.
Dates: 10-23 August
Cost: 270 Euros/ week
Includes: 3hours on ice + 1 hour of off ice per day. and possibly 2 hours of Ballet a week.
If you are interested, let me know I'll send you his email address.
Just incase that anyone in Europe is interested ( or anyone wants to come to Spain for a week or two) Javier Fernandez, Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson are having a summer camp in Madrid, Spain.

Does anyone know if these camps are open to people 18? I'm never sure when they say "adult" if they mean the USFSA definition which is 21+ of the common definition of 18+. I would like to try and go if I am able to get the money to go, but I can't find on any where it has ages.
When I went to the Lake Placid camp many years ago there were some college age women there; I don't see an age minimum on their website.

Did anybody go to last year's August adult week at Lake Placid and keep the ice schedule? I'm wondering how much ice time is available on Saturday as I only intend to go for Thursday/Friday/Saturday but based on having gone a very long time ago (and your very helpful 2013 review @AgnesNitt), think that maybe Saturday is only a half day/partial activities? I see no ice schedule published yet on their site for 2015:

There's skating in the morning and an afternoon adult show.
In general for Adult skating sessions I think most places go with 18 as the lowest age.
At least that's how it is in my region.
Sun Valley has been hosting Adult Figure Skating Seminars for several years. I have been attending them since 2005.
It is a wonderful and diverse group, including singles, pairs and ice dancers.
The seminar in 2015 runs from Tuesday through Saturday, August 25th - August 29th.
For information, you can contact the skate center at: skatingcenter@sunvalley.com
You can also call for information: 208-622-2192
These seminars are open to all skaters at all levels. Typically, there are some beginner skaters, some extraordinarily capable skaters, and many of us in between.
Come! You won't be disappointed!
Skaterpsych, can you post a link to the Sun Valley Seminar? All I can find are links to the adult skating weekend.
