Skating Programs

Ice Explorers is a fun, discovery‑based class designed for our youngest skaters. Through games and guided activities, children learn to feel comfortable on the ice while developing balance, coordination, and confidence. This class emphasizes exploration and play, helping skaters build the foundation for future skating skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Adult/Child class introduces young skaters to the basics of ice skating using the Snowplow Sam 1 curriculum. Children learn fundamental skills such as standing up, marching, gliding, and dipping — all with the comfort of having a parent or guardian on the ice alongside them. Designed for skaters who may feel nervous skating alone, this class builds confidence, safety, and fun through shared learning.

The Snowplow Sam levels are introductory classes divided into four progressive levels allowing children with no prior skating experience to build confidence while learning the basic skills of skating. These classes are designed to help children six and younger develop the ABCs of movement: agility, balance, coordination and speed. The ABCs are essential for developing fundamental movement skills and physical literacy. All classes will be taught in a safe and positive environment, incorporating fun and games making class time an enjoyable experience for all. 

The Hockey curriculum is designed to teach the fundamentals of hockey skating. In four badge levels, skaters will learn how to be more proficient and agile on the ice. Proper skating techniques for the game of hockey are the primary focus of the levels. All elements will be taught without a puck. Skaters will learn the basic hockey stance, stride, knee bend, use of edges and other necessary fundamentals to be successful in hockey practices and game situations. 

The Artistry in Motion (AIM) program introduces skaters to the basic principles and philosophy of choreography, presentation and performance. The badge program provides a foundation in basic body alignment, movement and line. Using this program will contribute to the training of the complete figure skater. Artistry in Motion praises the creative mind of every skater.

The Adult curriculum is designed for both beginning and experienced adult skaters who wish to improve their skating skills. Participation in the program will help promote physical fitness and improve balance and coordination while teaching proper skating techniques. This is an exciting program for people who look to skating as an enjoyable part of a fit and healthy lifestyle. Divided into six levels from basic skating to more advanced skills, adult skaters will progress at an individual rate while being challenged and motivated. Based on prior skating experience, adults may choose to begin at the level that best matches their skill base.

The Adaptive Skating Program is designed to guide skaters with physical disabilities to develop skating skills. The program encourages skaters to begin and continue to develop skating skills progressively with the intention of maintaining recreational participation and competitive development. Skaters completing the Adaptive Skating curriculum may complete skills assisted or unassisted. The term “assisted” refers to the skater performing skills with the aid of another person. If skaters use an assistive device without a person, they are unassisted

Private lessons are available for skaters of all ages and skill levels who want individualized instruction. Whether you are brand new to the ice, working through the Learn to Skate USA curriculum, or advancing into specialized skating skills, private lessons provide one‑on‑one attention tailored to your goals. Skaters receive personalized feedback and the opportunity to progress at their own pace in a supportive environment.
