About the Program

Your First Steps on Ice

The Learn to Skate program is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to get on the ice. Run in partnership with St. Clair Shores Parks and Recreation, our group lessons are taught by qualified instructors in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment.

Whether your child is stepping on the ice for the first time or you are an adult looking to pick up a new skill, there is a class that fits. All classes follow the Learn to Skate USA curriculum, so skaters build real skills at their own pace.

All classes require a Learn to Skate USA membership before registering. Sign up at LearnToSkateUSA.com.
