Ice Skating Lessons Start Here
New Skaters
- Skaters ages 3-12 must start with our Intro to Skating Class. Offered throughout the season, Intro to Skating allows skaters to learn the basics of standing, marching, and moving on ice. When an instructor lets you know your skater has passed you can sign up for Level 1.
- Skaters do not pre-register for this class, but they will pay for it weekly at the ice desk. The class costs $12 per week, not including skate rental.
- Skaters 13 or older may register for our Teen/Adult class to begin their skating journey. We can help those interested in just learning the basics or even a bit more.
