Overview
Taught by the Chesapeake Skating School, the ice skating program at Columbia Ice Rink will provide participants with a fun, safe atmosphere for all students (ages 3 to adults) to learn how to ice skate.
Each student will receive one 25-minute lesson per week for seven weeks. Seven complimentary public session practice passes are included with each Learn to Skate session. (NOTE: Due to Covid ice capacity restrictions, we cannot honor public session passes at this time. Your passes will be held for a future public session when the rink is at full capacity). Skate rental is included during lessons and is available for an extra fee of $3.75 during public session practices.
*Due to the pandemic we will be limiting the number of participants on the ice at any given time to 30. All participants must have a signed waiver to skate and must wear a mask at all times. If you are not feeling well please stay home. If you are exhibiting signs of illness, you may be asked to leave the building.
*Please call 410-730-0322 to register for Session 1 starting November 7th and going through December 19th. Online registration is not available for this session.

- Private one-on-one lessons are great for skaters 3 years and older that:
- Want to begin testing/competing
- Progressed out of learn to skate
- Do better in a one-on-one setting rather than a group
- Private lessons are available though The Chesapeake Skating School and are conducted during our freestyle sessions, and are completely separate from our Learn to Skate Program.
- Columbia Ice Rink’s U.S. Figure Skating Learn to Skate program, taught by the Chesapeake Skating School, has been formed to provide a fun, safe atmosphere for all students ages 3 and older to learn how to ice skate. The Tot and Basic 1-6 levels are geared towards the fundamentals of skating and develop the skills that are necessary for recreational, figure, ice hockey and speed skating. The Pre-Free Skate and Freeskate levels develop the skills necessary for advancement into figure skating.
