Let's
say you have made up your mind to learn to skate. Perhaps you need a
new workout activity, want to skate with your kids, or have extra time
now that you are retired. How do you go about it?
Unfortunately,
many people just purchase skates, put them on their feet, and go.
While this works for some, it also results in many sore rumps and
skates that are gathering dust in closets all across America. Instead,
you are much, much better off taking a lesson as you will be more
likely to master and enjoy the sport.
Once
you decide to take a lesson, we suggest you look farther than your
spouse (who can learn anything from a spouse?) or your good friend who
is an avid skater. The reality is teaching skating is a lot harder than doing it.
Consider
joining us at Camp Rollerblade! We believe Camp Rollerblade is the
single best option available if you want to learn to skate.
Consider these benefits:
- Five Hours of Instruction
One lesson is good. Two is better. At Camp Rollerblade, you get
five hours of instruction: from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on a Saturday with a
one-hour lunch break.
- Instruction at Your Level
We provide both Beginner and Advanced Beginner instruction and there is
no need to worry about whether you are a good enough skater to join us.
At the Beginner level, participants will have had no experience at all
on skates or will have only tried skating a few times. Advanced
Beginners will be able to brake on flat ground (but not generally on
hills) and will need help with technique. Although we ask you to
determine your level prior to camp, you can easily switch between
groups at any time. (Please note if you have poor balance or are
significantly overweight, you might be better off taking private
instruction from one of our Camp Rollerblade instructors. If you have
questions, please contact us.)
- For All Ages
Camp Rollerblade is for all ages. The average age of participants
at our adult camps is 49 and we regularly have participants at each
Camp from the teens into the 60s or even 70s. Kids are welcome if
accompanied by a participating adult.
