I AM A FIGURE SKATER!!!!!! Well I have been since I was six. I love ice skating and I went to ice skating camp again this year. This was week 6 of it but I only came for week 1 and skipped 3 weeks and came back on week 5. I really enjoyed being with my 3 friends who are amazing ice skaters. I did a solo to “you never had a friend like me” by the Aladdin cast. So I had a simple and tricky routine in the morning and here it is. My routine to get ready and go to skating camp was pretty simple. I woke up in the morning at 6:00 because I needed to get to the camp around 8. So I would wake up and I would stretch because I needed to get my body ready for skating. Then I would be kind of tired so I would go to take a shower. That woke me up and I felt fresh. By then it would be 6:45, so I would go and make some breakfast and take care of my brother who is probably awake. By then I would leave because I’m 30 minutes away from the camp so I usually have to leave around 7:45 because they don’t fully start until 8:30. When I reach I might tie my skates, though it depends on the time I leave. If I leave late then I would tie my skates in the car. So when I reach late I won’t have to be stressed that I did not tie my skates. I would be ready when I got to the rink. If I leave early I would reach there and tie my skates. Now let me tell you the skating camp schedule, the first thing we do is go to our locker rooms and get ready to tie skates. A lot of little kids need help tying their skates(coaches help them) so they would do that while the older kids do it by themselves. By 8:30 they would get everybody who’s ready, which is pretty much all the kids unless someone did not tie it yet they would get everybody on the ice. Then you would do like a 5-minute free skate and we would split into groups. The groups are A1, A2, B, and C. A1 is for the kids who are not good at ice skating. Then C is for kids like you are great skaters though let’s brush those spins up to make them even better. I was in C. After we split into our groups we started doing practice more on warm ups for the level of the group so A1 might be practicing how to stroke properly but I was practicing stuff like Mohawk crossovers and spins. After an hour of skating we would go to do arts and crafts. We would do stuff like tie-dye or painting, coloring all fun stuff but every single Wednesday we would have to do exercise or yoga instead of arts and crafts. After the arts and crafts were done. We would do more ice skating and by that time we would have the same coach and would be doing a program like I said every week we have to have to perform a program with the group that the coach designs to a song so the basically every week I want to do a solo every week and usually there’s a theme of the week so like one of the theme is this week was Broadway. So we did Broadway so we did Broadway songs like Aladdin. So by this time we would be done, it’s time for lunch or our parents to pick us up so we had a choice either we should do half day and leave early or stay and have lunch but I had half day because my parents didn’t it didn’t want to me to be exposed to covid because we have to take our masks off so I was a half-day person. I would have to wait like 30 minutes for my dad to pick me up because it ends like really early and my dad picks me up like 5 minutes the time they said it ends around like 11:40 and then we come out by 11:45 and I have to wait until 12:10 for my dad to pick me up. Then I would go for another 30 minutes to my house by then it’s 12:45 then I eat my food and that was my day, people. I mean by that time I would do anything else I had extra math, all that good stuff, anything I didn’t care I would do and by that time I had a class. I either had swimming, a book club, math class, or piano so that was the day. Thanks for reading about my day at camp. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
