Camp Skaters Feed Back

Liz Manley works with the camp participants in an off Ice class. Students also had the chance to work with Liz on the ice in group lessons as well as privately.


 Amanda Hoyt works through a dry run of a dance routine off the ice at the Snow King Center. Hoyt was among several participants in the Jackson on Ice summer skating camp, during which participants work closely with Olympic and professional skaters.

The Jackson on Ice Skating Camp was a fantastic opportunity for my 8 year old daughter! She improved dramatically over the three weeks she attended. After seeing the quality of the instruction, both from a technical and artistic standpoint, and how motivated my daughter was, we decided to take advantage of this opportunity and attend all three sessions. We also had a number of private lessons with some of the instructors. Michael Stifounine worked up a very cute routine for her and she was thrilled to be put in to the final show of the season. The whole experience was very rewarding for her and we hope to see Jackson on Ice back next year! For anyone whose child is serious about skating, this is an opportunity not to be missed!

For the past two summers we have enjoyed taking our daughter to the Jackson On Ice Skate camp. She loves the opportunity to meet and to train with such an incredibly high caliber of talent. This summer she learned an awesome Russian Folk Dance from Andrei Bannikov and attending classes instructed by Elisabeth Manley, Marina Pestova and Marat Akbarov, Rossanna Tovi, Craig Heath, and Akop Manoukian. The highlight of the camp is seeing world class skaters performing in the evening ice shows.

The Jackson on Ice Skating Camp has touched the hearts and souls of skaters who would not be able to afford traveling to a large ice skating training center. These young skaters now have the same opportunities as the children in large communities! They have fostered their dreams not to mention their technical skating abilities. For that , I am grateful.

Its different to learn from professionals who are still skating, Craig Heath said, because they can relate with the students on the ice and demonstrate exactly what the students need to do.

 “I attended the Jackson skating camp with several of my students. My students loved the camp, especially the opportunity to take lessons from skaters such as Alexei Urmanov. They have been more excited about skating since the camp and look forward to returning next summer.”
