“We brought our daughter to UTC Ice for a birthday outing and ended up staying almost five hours. The rink has this energy that keeps everyone engaged, whether you’re skating or just watching. It never feels overcrowded or stressful, and the staff genuinely seems happy to be there. We’ve already made it part of our monthly routine.”

What To Expect
Freestyles
Get your practice on! Daily, skaters have two one-hour Freestyle sessions to practice competition routines and other skills.
On-Ice Group Classes
Skaters drill their skills in two on-ice classes per day that include: Spin technique, Artistry in Motion choreography, competition simulations and showcases, and understanding the US point system.
Off-Ice Group Classes
Building skating skills relies on off-ice mobility and strength. Skaters experience classes such as Strength and Conditioning with light weight lifting, speed and agility, Yoga for balance, and Dance and Stretch for coordination, musicality, and flexibility.
Private Lessons
For an additional fee, book a private lesson during Freestyles with one of our instructors to help you reach your goals!
Parent Skate Experience
Every Friday from 1:25 PM – 2:45 PM, parents are invited onto the ice to skate with their camper and see what they’ve learned throughout the week.
Make Long Lasting Memories!
Training alongside fellow athletes — at whatever level — will create unforgettable moments that our skaters will forever cherish in their skating journeys!
