NEW!!
"Team Garner"
Figure Skating Bridge Program

The Bridge program is designed to introduce intermediate level skaters to the next step in their skating careers. Our goal is to “bridge” the gap between skate school and figure skating.
Our program does not take the place of skate school or private lessons, but provides an avenue to hone skills in a structured environment.

Skaters who have achieved Basic 5 and above are invited to participate. This program supplements skate school and private lessons and we encourage you to continue with your current form of instruction as well in order to ensure the skater’s success.

Rink Rats
A youth development program for ages 3-5

This program is often the next step after students have
successfully completed the Mice on Ice Program or a
class in Skate School. The only program requirements
are the skater's ability to stand on the ice, skate forward
and stop on his or her own.  This is a wonderful skating
program for youths ages 3-5 and teaches them the fundamentals
of hockey.

This class is held during our SATURDAY skate school.
