Fort Dupont Ice Arena offers group skating classes to area youth, ages 5-18 (kindergarten to twelfth grade), through its Kids On Ice® program. Kids On Ice is a free, community program whose mission is to make skating accessible and affordable for Washington-area children. For more information on Kids On Ice click here.
Children are accepted into the program on a “first come, first served” basis. Priority is given to returning students who regularly attended classes and who submit their registration forms by the deadline. We have openings for new students in every session.
