Ages 4-10
Our Learn to Skate Program is sure to be your youngster’s favorite weekly activity!
Our Learn to Skate program has classes for true beginners or those with a little bit of experience under their belt. Our classes are designed simultaneously with fun at the forefront and around the fundamental skating skills your child will need to move into ice hockey or figure skating.
The Learn to Skate program is split into Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced levels. All Learn to Skate classes are held in the Annex training rink, located at the west end of the facility at Johnny’s Icehouse West.
For late registrations, the fee will automatically prorate at checkout so you’re not paying for past classes.
