As the air gets cooler, it’s a reminder for the residents of Camrose to dig out their skates and take advantage of the public skating opportunities at the Camrose Recreation Centre. This is a correction to the article shared last week. With a range of free drop-in skating options, there is something for everyone, from young children to seniors. The Recreation Centre offers several skating programs tailored to different groups.

Perfect for young children to get familiar with the ice alongside their parents, creating an enjoyable atmosphere for learning and bonding.

For older adults, these sessions offer a relaxed environment for seniors who want to stay active during the colder months. Skating across the ice can be a delightful way to stay fit, meet others, and embrace winter’s charm without feeling rushed or pressured.

Nothing quite matches the feeling of skating freely on a chilly afternoon, and simply enjoying the movement and freedom that ice provides. Public Skate sessions are perfect for connecting with friends and family, making winter weekends memorable.

 This drop-in session allows youth to practice with an adult, puck handling, shooting, and passing without the pressure of a competitive game. It’s a great opportunity to refine skills or just have some fun with friends in a relaxed, low-stress environment.

However, if competition is what you are after, Camrose Recreation Centre also hosts drop-in adult shinny where goalies play for free.

The Camrose Recreation Centre’s drop-in skating sessions are a great way to keep active as winter approaches. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or just lacing up for the first time, there’s a magic to skating, the feeling of being on ice, the exhilaration of picking up speed, and the joy of sharing these experiences with your loved ones. Skaters are to bring their own gear and can contact the Recreation Centre or visit the City of Camrose website www.camrose.ca to find dates and times or get additional details.
