Session 3

Overview

Learn to Skate Programs are tailored to the needs of our participants. Our programs are fun, engaging, and an excellent opportunity to learn. Multiple instructors on the ice ensures that all participants will have a chance to learn at their own pace. Children and youth classes are organized by age to ensure the participants are at a similar development and social level. Adult Classes are organized based on previous experience.

Please note: classes will run on Family Day (February 21) during Session 3
