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.

Our Skate Team Leader is on the ice during all lesson times, and can answer your questions about lessons and your child’s progress.
RENTALS Skate lesson fees do not include skate rentals. 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.
INQUIRE ABOUT PROGRESS!
