INTRODUCING A SPECIAL SKATING PROGRAM
FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

We are proud to announce the introduction of (2) free one week skating programs specifically devoted to children with special developmental and or physical and occupational delays.

This program is designed to be introductory in nature and will be conducted at the Olympia Ice Center, home of PRIDE Hockey's High Level Ice Hockey Program. Like all programs conducted by PRIDE emphasis will be given to the development of proper technique as well as physical and emotional well being.

Each daily one hour session will begin with a with a regimen of off ice warmups and stretching than we will transition into a short focused discussion of the day's activity before going on the ice.

Campers will be grouped according to ability and will be closely supervised by our staff of professional instructors. Helmets, skates and gloves will be provided for all participants during the one week program.

Enrollment opportunities in these camps are limited. If you are interested in signing up or would like more information please feel free to email our Special Camp Director Mr. Luke Albert at luke19@nyc.rr.com
