Private “Booster” Lessons

Looking to enhance your learning experience? When enrolled in our Learn to Skate program you are eligible to schedule a private booster lesson with one of our valued instructors. These lessons are a great way to help your skater focus and work on skills that are more difficult to achieve and enhances the skills you already know. It also gives the skater a more structured, yet fun, additional practice time. Please contact the skating director to set up lessons.

Entrance to the rinks is located on the east end of the building. If you have further questions, please contact Kaitlyn Hamlin, Skating Director, at 303.463.4287 or KaitlynH@ApexPRD.org.
