First year skiing and summer camps

So this is my first year skiing and I'm thinking that it might be really fun to go to a summer camp but it being my first year skiing would it be worth it? I can do some 3s and 5s and have flipped into the airbag but still need to throw it on snow, but I just think would it be better to go maybe next year or later when I'm better and can take the most out of it? Or would it be smart to go sooner rather than later?

^ exactly it's to help you to learn, why wait and get better and then go, when you can just go and get better there, I learned more in a week at camp than in half a season

Bud, a lot of the time there are kids at the camps that have only had 10 days on snow. The purpose of camp is to help you progress.

nooooo its padded really nice so its just as soft as slushy snow. only thing is that it will scrape you up if you don't cover up your elbows and forearms

If you get the opportunity to go, do it.

I was pretty bad when I went but I still enjoyed the experience.
