Esso Learn to Skate
What is Esso Learn to Skate
Our Esso Learn to Skate program is designed to offer skating sessions to all levels of skating. For skaters looking to lace them up for the first time, the focus of our programs will be to learn how to stand up, balancing on two feet, falling, forward skating, turning, gliding and more. With multiple tiers to our Esso Learn to Skate programs, all participants receive a Mick E. Moose program certificate, certifying the conclusion of your skating program. Work your way up through our levels of Esso Learn to Skate and join in on the fun on the ice!
