SKATING LESSONS & PROGRAMS

Juan de Fuca Learn to Skate Juan de Fuca’s Learn to Skate Program is designed to teach skating to people of all ages and abilities, with the emphasis on having fun while learning the fundamentals.

Rentals for lessons are available for a reduced rate ($1.50). Please arrive 15 minutes early for the first class to allow time to fit skate rentals.

HELMETS

Helmets are required for all lesson participants.

Participants are encouraged to wear gloves mittens, warm jackets and warm flexible clothing.
