I am considering going there this summer and was wondering about the skill level required.
i can do 1's and 3's off jumps and 270 off on boxes, is this good enough?

You will be fine. You don't have to be good enough. you go there to learn. Everyone had to start somewhere and you will keep progressing. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks or says.

You will be fine at that skill level.  Might want to put yourself as a beginner and if they feel you are an intermediate, they will bump you up into a different group!  Regardless there are other kids that are at camp that are learning the same tricks you will be learning. 

See you this summer!

I went last summer and it took a lot less skill than I expected. I went  as a intermediate( I can 270 on and off, 450 off and my best spin is 7) and some of the kids in my group couldn't even hit boxes or jumps.

for the money piont of it, i would wait a year, progress some more and go next year. i think it would just make the experience better.

they were really flexible with me. my mom paid a down payment of $100. All they asked us was that we had it paid off by the time camp came around. When I emailed them they said we had to be paid by like march and my mom called them and were understanding
