Last week, fifty skaters representing 14 arenas in Minnesota and Wisconsin gathered at the Pleasant Arena in St. Paul for our annual Rising Stars Camp. Skaters ranged in age from 3 – 13. Rising Stars Camp is hosted by the St. Paul Figure Skating Club and directed by Northfield Skating School Founder/Director Carey Tinkelenberg.

Throughout the week, skaters participated in on-ice skills & drills, creative movement classes, off-ice jumping, strength, and stretch classes, arts and crafts, and special workshops. Special workshops included a nutrition seminar, strength and conditioning specialist, and SOMA class with choreographer Tara Stamm. All skaters also prepared solo routines that they performed at an exhibition on July 22. Thank to you skaters, coaches, parents, and volunteers for a fun and successful event. See you next year!
