Skating Lessons – Children & Teens
Recreation Oak Bay has a terrific Learn to Skate program where children and teens can improve their skating. The Learn to Skate program caters to preschool age, school age children and teens at any level who are wanting to improve their skating in a fun and motivating way.
For teens, the program improves their skating and offers opportunity to learn instructional skill to advance opportunities for later employment as a skating instructor.
The skater to instructor ratio on ice ensures that the skaters will learn and improve their skating skills.
CSA approved helmets and gloves are mandatory for the lessons. Helmets are available at no charge from the Skate Shop.
