Helping With Skating Camp at Lakewood Ice 8-16-17

I was asked by Skating Director Jacqui Palmore to help with the figure part of a skating camp at Lakewood Ice today! My son Joel, who is on break from Disney On Ice Frozen, tagged along and helped a bit too!

It was fun to share my passion for the sport and for compulsory figures with the young skaters who took part in the camp!

After the figures class, we stayed around for a bit of Rafael's jump class that was assisted by US Men's Champion Adam Rippon!
