Private Ice-Skating Lessons
Wheaton Ice Arena has many coaches who offer private and semi-private lessons. Only coaches who have contracts with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), Montgomery Parks may teach private lessons here. Private instructor fees are paid directly to the instructor. Skaters will also need to pay for admission/ice time and skate rental (if needed) before the private lesson. Private lessons are for 1-2 skaters only. Bigger groups will need to contact the Skating Director to set up a custom group class.
