Our Teen & Adult Learn-to-Skate program is designed specifically for participants aged 13 years and older who are new to skating or looking to build confidence on the ice in an age-appropriate environment. Skaters will work through fundamental skating skills in a supportive group setting led by an NCCP Certified Coach. Whether your goal is recreational skating, learning alongside your family, or preparing for hockey, ringette, or figure skating, this program provides a welcoming place to learn at your own pace.
