General Information

Learn-to-Skate sessions run for eight (8) weeks.  Classes are held once per week.

1st Day Procedure:  Skaters should arrive approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of their scheduled class time to lace up and be ready to attend orientation.  Skaters should check in at the Learn-to-Skate table.  At this time, skaters will receive their nametags and class assignments.

Orientation:  There will be a brief orientation for the skaters and parents 10 minutes prior to their first class.  General information will be discussed and instructors will be introduced.  If you have any questions, they should be addressed at this time.

Attire:  Single blade hockey or figure skates are required.  All sizes of hockey and figure skates are available to rent for only $2.00.  Helmets are required for all children 5 years of age and under (bicycle helmets are acceptable).  Skaters should wear comfortable and warm clothing and it’s important to wear gloves or mittens.

Practice Pass:  All skaters will receive a Practice Pass when you register for a Learn-to-Skate class.  This pass will enable a skater to attend any of our public sessions at no charge.  Practice passes are only valid during the duration of your class session and good for up to eight uses.  Each student will receive one pass, which we cannot replace.
