On-ice Learn To Skate

The 8 week comprehensive Learn to Skate programs focus on basic fundamentals in a unique and fun environment. In each 50 minute class, we use interactive games to teach skating skills and children will learn the basics including standing up, balancing, gliding, making a stride, and stopping. Advanced groups will build on those skills and all classes are broken down into smaller groups to progress children according to their level. There are 4 instructors on the ice for each session based on a full class of 14 kids. Parents are welcome on the ice for the first two weeks of this program but are required to wear skates and helmet. Children are required to wear CSA approved helmet with cage or shield and skates.  Note: there are no specific age groups for the sessions in this program because we prefer to group kids by ability.  Kids in our Learn to Skate program are typically 3-8 years old. 

The 8 week comprehensive Learn to Skate Condensed Program focuses on basic fundamentals in a unique and fun environment. Children will learn the same skating skills and techniques that are featured in our original Learn to Skate program however, they will do so in a condensed time frame of 40 minutes per class. Children are placed in small groups (according to their ability) for a portion of the class to help develop their skills.
