An inspiring learning experience
The 3S Summer Camp 2017 offers a personal and enriching experience for young skaters with talent and aspiration.
Daily private lessons
Each student will benefit from a daily private lesson with one of our world-class skating coaches who will rotate through the students during the week. To provide maximized individual training quality, admissions are limited to only 36 students per week.
Comprehensive training program
Becoming a great skater requires more than skating lessons. From nutrition to off-ice training, every aspect of our program has been tailored to the needs of our students, aspiring champions. This holistic approach provides a training experience that is engaging and enriching.
Specific group lessons
In addition to their private lessons, students will develop specific skills such as steps, spins, and musicality in small groups based on their abilities so that they can absorb the most out of every lesson.
Good times
The 3S Summer Camp 2017 has an intensive training program, but we think that you should also have fun during your stay. Our program makes sure that you have enough time to rest and enjoy the summer.
An ideal location
Champéry is a charming Swiss village where sport has long been a tradition.
The heart of the Alps
Champéry is located at 1,055 meters in a valley of the Swiss Alps, only 90 minutes away from Geneva. It lies at the feet of the famous Dents du Midi on which it offers a spectacular view. Its altitude and quiet atmosphere make it an ideal location for training during the summer.
A state-of-the-art complex
The Palladium de Champéry is Switzerland's National Center of Ice Sports. It is an eco-friendly, multi-sport complex that includes an Olympic-size ice rink with a comfortable seating area where parents can watch their kids and a large multi-purpose hall for off-ice training.
Recreational activities
Plenty of activities are available so you can have fun during your time off. You can go hiking or mountain biking directly from the village, or play tennis next to the rink. The Palladium also includes a swimming pool that camp participants can enjoy free-of-charge.
Weekly training program
The design of our training program is the product of years of experience participating and teaching in skating camps. It offers a perfect balance between on-ice and off-ice training so that you can be ideally prepared when the season begins.
