​​​​​​​​Driven by the mission of Learn to Skate USA to provide a fun and positive experience that will instill a lifelong love of skating, the BCFSC’s Learn to Skate USA program is the place for you or your child to get started on the ice. Our program teaches children and adults the FUNdamentals of ice skating while building confidence and skills through each lesson. We follow a progressive curriculum, focused on the health and fitness benefits of skating, ensuring success from the first steps on the ice to mastering advanced skills.

​​​​​​​​

Please read the schedule and class offerings carefully and thoroughly.

​

Due to ice availability, Learn to Skate lessons will be on Thursday evenings only. There will be no weekend classes available. Only Snowplow Sam and Basic Skills 1-6 levels will be offered this season. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 

​

If registering a returning skater from last session or another rink's LTS program, please select their current level.  All skaters that are new to the LTS program should select either Snowplow Sam (ages 3-4) or Basic Skills 1 (ages 5+).  Skills assessments may be done on the first evening of class to ensure that all participants are in the appropriate level for their abilities.
