Five Day Bowling ProgramA structured, systematic, progressive teaching process designed to improve your bowling skills and increase your knowledge.
Our reputation over the years has been built on the quality of our educational program because it works and has produced extraordinary results. The skill of our teachers, many of whom have been teaching with us for over 10 years, create the "family feeling", which focuses on you, the individual. The "Ritger Method", a carefully designed program of skill drills, enables bowlers to leave with the tools to constantly improve their game. By providing self-help methods, the bowler can quickly regain balance, timing, consistency, and accuracy, with scores going up accordingly. We ask what you wish to accomplish, and strive to meet those needs. In the process, you will establish techniques to help improve your game, analytical skills to enhance your understanding of the sport and new friendships that often will last a lifetime.
A Typical Day A schedule will be sent for each specific location. Canandaigua will have available housing and meals for participants. Other locations will be provided with suggestions for housing, but no formal package. 8:30 - 9 AM: Arrive at the lanes. In Canandaigua, breakfast served at lanes. 9 - 9:30 AM: Program begins. About 15-20% of time is classroom instruction, with the majority of time spent on the lanes bowling with instruction. 12:30 - 1:30: Lunchtime 1:30 - 4:00 PM: On lanes with instruction 5:00 - 6:00 PM: Dinner, followed by various evening activities (Canandaigua location). Note: On the day you arrive (Candandaigua summer only), check-in is usually around 3-4 PM, with an evening program starting at 6:00, which includes charting and videotaping. The next morning we begin the 5 days of instruction. On the last day, you will be finished at noon. For other summer camp locations, check in is Monday AM about 8 AM.
This is an optional item, additional to tuition. In Canandaigua (only), we offer housing, which has been designed to provide the best and cleanest accommodations at the lowest cost. Breakfast and lunch are buffets at the lanes, dinners are out at various locations. Most of the staff resides there, providing supervision and guidance during the week. We have vans to transport everyone, and for those (adults or youth) who stay there, the flavor becomes very "camp like". Because the price is attractive, both youth and adults are encouraged to stay at the frat. Price for our supervised housing package is $345 per person (double occupancy), $420 single this summer. It includes 5 nights lodging, 3 meals per day, local transportation, and selected evening activities. All students are encouraged to stay with us, however some students choose to handle their own housing accommodations. At all of our locations outside Canandaigua, we provide suggestions for housing, but no formal package with meals and activities.
