Unless you compete through USSA and want to get qualified for inverts or double flips I would go to Ohio Dreams.

Then go to Ohio Dreams. Its water ramps but they also have dryslope and the coaching is more laid back and chill from what I have heard.

Freestyle America is where its at. The people that run it have been coaching skiing for thirty years and really know whats up. You'll do a bit of everything - traditional aerials as well as freeski stuff, and really learn the right way.

I went to Freestyle America camps for 5-6 years. The Prestons and all their coaches are some of the best you can find and really help you to get down the tricks you want during their camps.

Good talk.

yeah Clarke's spot on. You'll learn how to do tricks the right way instead of just sending them and getting hurt.

Not the best choice if you just want to huck into a pool, but if you're looking to improve your fundamentals it's a great value, and it's run by very nice folks that know their stuff. I spent the entire first day working on straight airs, but that's because my fundamentals were pretty horrendous.

It's been a while, but when I was looking into the camps I called the facility at LP directly, and it sounded like they have, or at least had, open ramp sessions from time to time. if you just want to hit the ramps for a day or two and Ohio isn't an option, it might be worth calling the facility and seeing if it's still possible to do so without being part of a camp.

I was wondering whether  the Freestyle America camps where more oriented towards aerial and moguls or is it actually a freestyle camp?
