Get ready to have fun, on the ice and off. This year, Michigan Tech’s Learn-to-Skate Camp is themed Skating Through the Stars—space travel is exciting, and so is our skate camp! Daily activities include skating lessons, group routine practice, and organized skating games. Off of the ice, skaters will help in the design of costumes, set, and props for the exciting end-of-week show. If you’re ready to learn skate basics, there’s no better—or more fun—way to do it!
