Ready to hit the ice? Our Learn to Skate Academy is the perfect place for kids to build confidence, balance, and skating skills in a fun and supportive environment.
Beginners start in Snowplow for ages 3-5 or Basic 1 for ages 6 and up. Beginning skaters do NOT need expensive equipment. In most cases, you can start by using skates from our rink or by borrowing a pair from a friend. Be sure to dress in warm and comfortable clothing. As you learn more, you will likely want to invest in your own skates and equipment.
