JOIN THE FUN!
Figure Skating in Detroit provides girls, ages 6-15 with vital educational and skating opportunities that promote confidence, leadership, physical well-being and academic excellence year-round. Our three programs, I Can Excel (ICE), Day Camps and Community Workshops provide slots for more than 300 students annually and gives our girls the opportunity to appear in public on-ice performances throughout the year.
All of our students make a commitment that they will aim for an ‘A’ average or higher in school. Students remain in good standing with a ‘B’ average and require additional support with a ‘C’ average. Figure Skating in Detroit helps each girl improve her academic skills, become a competent figure skater, and grow into a self-confident, resourceful, and determined young woman.
Our philosophy is simple, when our girls are told they can achieve anything they put their minds to, and are given the tools to do it, they not only believe they can, they do! This is how you build champions in life.
