Progression huge during the summer? Who gets madly better?

I've never been to a camp. But I'm thinking pro's, am's and the average skier throw down massivly in the summer.
Have you guys or girls learnt a ton of stuff out there? If so what?
Anddddd my final question. How much of an impact does riding with pro's have on your skiing during your session? I would think just skiing with pro's would make me learn stuff 1000000% faster. I always do better when good ppl are watching, but that might just be me.

i rode the public park at whistler last summer for 3 days and i didnt get back to the level of skiing i finshsed the season with till like halfway through the 3rd day. I think after the first few days you start progressing a lot but idk if i am the perfect example since i wasnt in a camp situation.

If you go to a camp, you'll progress at the rate you want to.
Personally, no camp for me, but I try to progress on my backyard rail. Workin on those pretzels, but getting solid with my sw. ups is fun too.

i didnt go to camp, just went to the public park but i did a backflip again for the first time in like 4-5 years...i could totally see how riding at hood or whistler would help improve your skills, not only from the coaching of the pro's ...because from what ive seen and heard they all do a really rad job at doing it...but its also the overall stoke factor. i mean everyone there is stoked on being there, having a good time...and as with any session you throw down and actually attempt to one up the other guy...its the atmosphere at summer skiing that makes it what it is, cant get it at too many other places
