Sun Linlin Camp 2013

The second annual Sun Linlin summer camp will take place Friday, July 19th through Sunday, July 21st at East Penn. We were proud to have this Chinese National Team speed skater and 2010 Olympic gold medalist with us last year for a very successful camp.

This summer, Linlin is coaching a two-camp series. East Penn's camp is beginner-friendly, and will involve a balance of technique and strength/conditioning training both on and off the ice. The second camp will be held in Danbury, CT from Friday, August 9th through Sunday, August 11th.

Schedule: The camp will start at 5pm Friday and end at approximately 2pm Sunday. See the flier [pdf] for a more detailed schedule.

Location: The Steel Ice Center is located at 320 E. 1st Street, Bethlehem PA. There are many hotels near the Lehigh Valley International Airport, 6 miles from the rink; we have also had good experiences with the Best Western Plus - Lehigh Valley at 300 Gateway Drive, Bethlehem PA.

Registration: The camp is limited to the first 30 registrants. The cost is $170 per skater; additional family members will receive a 20% discount. Starting Tuesday, July 2nd, the cost will rise to $185 per skater. Click below to register:

Spring break

We will be taking a break at both Steel Ice and Body Zone this spring. There is one more practice at Steel Ice next Saturday, March 30, then both locations will start up again the weekend of May 18-19.

 

Spring 2013 announcements

New payment system - Practice fees are now paid directly to the rink, at a cost of $20 per person per 1-1/2 hour practice.  Be sure to sign in at the front desk and pay before getting on the ice. We apologize to families of 3 or more, as the new fees will cost you more overall, but we're trying to make skating possible for the largest number of people.

Punchcards - If you want a refund of unused punches, you must contact Amy to request it by our annual meeting in April.

Membership fee - We are instituting an annual membership fee of $50 per individual, $60 per family to cover miscellaneous operational expenses. For this year, the fee will be pro-rated 50% until Sept 1st, 2013.
