Skaters and Guardians:

We have held three sessions of Learn To Skate this season and we think you will agree it was a huge success having come back from more than two years off because of COVID guidelines.

Our new Learn to Skate Director, Anya Saretzky, continues to do a fabulous job and we expect continued growth and student satisfaction over the remainder of the winter and spring sessions. Our new program administrator, Assistant Manager -- Bill Richards, has helped with an easy registration process, and our many new instructors have settled in and are doing an exceptional job. Thank you for your confidence and patience while the team continues building our program. We look forward to helping all of our students make great gains in their skill development going forward. That, and of course, just painting big smiles on all of our students faces while they enjoy the fun and challenge of learning to ice skate.

LTS Sessions 1, 2 & 3 reached capacity and many eager students missed out. Don't miss out on our final session this season starting April 2.  Learn to Skate Session 4 is FULL. Enrollment is closed.

ALL sessions are affiliated with LearnToSkateUSA.  Dues paid to that organization are expected. Dues are currently set at $17.25 annually and must be paid to the organization directly. The program is part of the USFSA and USA Hockey and is the governing body of Olympic Ice Sports for the United States. You can visit them at www.learntoskateusa.com.The membership offers many videos and skating tips that help you with your lessons as well as limited supplemental insurance benefits and a subscription to LearnToSkateUSA Magazine.

LTS Session 4 is now open for registration.

A Parent Pass is offered for $29 which will give you access to the lesson practice ice with your child and the public session following Learn to Skate on Sundays. The Parent Pass also includes skate rental if needed. Parents/Guardians of children under 8 or children of any age with special needs are welcome to assist in lesson time with a Parent Pass.

If you would like to register more than one student/parent-guardian for the same or multiple sessions, you must register each student individually by following these instructions for each student.

A Parent Pass is valid for one session only.  Therefore, you must select “Parent Pass” for each session selected if choosing the parent pass. It is not necessary to purchase multiple parent passes if more than one student is enrolled per parent/guardian. I.e.
