A 10 Week Learn to Skate Session will includes the following:
- 30 minutes of group instruction and ice time
- Skate rental on the day of your class
- 10 practice session passes to be used on any of our public sessions or LTS practice sessions during your class session
- Evaluation at the end of the session
We recommend all skaters start in our group lesson program because it is fun to learn in a group, a great value, and you will be exposed to many of our wonderful staff!
Our entry level classes break down to $27 per week and include: weekly 30 min lesson, and skate rental.
Private lessons range from $45-$55+ per 30 min depending on the instructor plus ice time ($18 for our one hour "freestyle sessions") and skate rental ($6).
The Basic 4 level is a great time to start supplemental private lessons as the skill set becomes more difficult at this level. Additionally, if your skater is interested in doing competitions and shows (available to skaters of ALL levels), a private lesson coach and assist you with these skating opportunities.
Make up classes are not available; however you may request a free public session pass that does not expire for a missed class.
Due to our high demand, we are not currently offering any discounts. Our group classes are a great value for the excellent instruction and ice time that you will receive!
- We recommend dressing in layers including pants that allow for movement.
- BRING GLOVES or mittens - ski / waterproof gloves are recommended for extra protection
- Wear thin socks that come above the ankle so skates can fit snug
- Helmets are VERY STRONGLY recommended. A snow cap rolled up in the back can also provide extra padding.
- Snow pants are great for tots their first days to stay dry as they are finding their balance.
- Skate rental is included with your class. We recommend getting your own skates by the Basic 4 level so that you have a consistent fit and feel each week and equipment that will be suited for the more difficult skills at this level and higher.

Skates should fit very snug. If skates are too big it will be very difficult to balance. All skaters should start in figure skates as it is much easier to balance on the longer, flatter blades. When it is time to transition to hockey skates, we recommend doing so during practice to adjust before the next lesson.
