Fair Acres 2024 Learn-to-Skate Program! - Fair Acres Country Day School and Summer Camp

Our 2024 Learn-to-Skate program has been a tremendous success, with each and every one of our skaters making tremendous progress – and, having a whole lot of fun – on the ice!

This program took place at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. The Pre-K and Kindergarten students will travel by bus to the rink (the bus ride is always a huge highlight for the children!), and after lacing up, they will take to the ice to embark on the adventure of developing their ice skating skills together.

Our Learn-to-Skate program supports our goal of encouraging the development of important fine motor skills, while inspiring a love of physical activity. Preparing to ice skate requires many fine motor skills, including zipping jackets, tying skates and putting on gloves, and skating improves posture, balance, flexibility and coordination, while enhancing muscle strength and endurance.

Fair Acres is very proud of the long list of alumni, who have gone on to become hockey players and figure skaters, and we are very grateful to our staff, parents, and grandparents, who share their time and talents with us each year, to help make this program a huge success!
