Learn To Skate

YMCA instructors allow each child (or adult!) to learn at his/her own pace. All programs are fully inclusive.

CSA or equivalent helmets are mandatory for all skating programs.

Skate rentals are available for an additional $10.00 per session. Please notify a Membership Services representative when you register for skating that you require skate rentals.

Registration for our Skating programs is closed for the season.

The next session begins October 2012 - check back again soon for registration dates.
