The Berkshire Bruins Learn to Skate program is designed for complete beginners and early-stage skaters who are learning the fundamentals of being on the ice. Through fun, supportive instruction, skaters build balance, coordination, basic skating skills, and confidence.
By the end of the program, skaters will be working toward the ability to skate independently and feel comfortable moving on the ice.
