The Mount Washington Valley Skating Club is your resource in the White Mountains of Maine and New Hampshire for learning how to skate.
We teach children and adults of all abilities to skate for fun, competition and a lifetime of experiences within the skating community.
We welcome you to our beautiful home rink, the Ham Ice Arena where we offer Learn to Skate group lessons formatted by Learn to Skate USA. We instruct skaters in learn to skate for hockey and figure skating.
Our skaters have taken what they have learned here onto local, regional, national and collegiate levels of skating competition.
Our Learn to Skate USA group lessons include a 25 minute group lesson and 25 minutes of practice time. This practice ice may come prior to your lesson time, or after your lesson. Lesson times may change weekly so plan to be on time and ready to skate.
Enjoy!
Please note: Skaters must be at least 5 years old to participate in Learn to Skate.
