What should the skater wear?
Helmets are not required, but strongly recommended for the 4 to 5 age group. We advise you to consider whether a well fitting helmet is appropriate for your child. No double runner skates are allowed. Skaters should dress in layers; sweaters, sweatshirts, jogging/sweat pants. Gloves or mittens are a must.

No. Skates are available to use for each lesson. Please be aware that there are a limited number of skates available.

Does the program take beginner skaters that have never skated before?
Of course. We are here to teach you to skate and all levels of skaters are welcome.

Do I skate with my child?
No. No parent or sibling is allowed on the ice.

We are going to have to miss a session. Can we make it up?
Due to the expected volume of people in the program, we are unable to do make up sessions. It is especially important to attend the first day since this is when class assignments are made.

If my kids don’t like it or we need to withdraw for any reason, can I get a refund?
No refunds once session starts.
