The Telluride Figure Skating Club and the Ah Haa School have teamed up to offer an alternative to Ski P.E. Instead of spending the day on the slopes, kids spend mornings learning the fundamentals of figure skating and hockey in Town Park, and the remainder of the day creating a variety of fun art projects at the Ah Haa School. The program is offered to students in grades K-6 and runs January-February.
ALL SKART STUDENTS MUST BE REGISTERED BY NOVEMBER 5, 2015! Online registration is available through the links at the bottom of this page.
IMPORTANT: if you are receiving a scholarship from the school, you must obtain the correct discount code from school administration before registering.
The Ah Haa School for the Arts
Ah Haa provides a safe, positive and inspiring environment for children to stretch their imaginations and push their creative boundaries. Using a variety of materials and talented instructors, we aim to provide new experiences that go beyond what might be explored at home or in school. The goal is to foster creativity, confidence and fun!
Students will explore a variety of media, ranging from mixed-media sculpture and ceramics to painting and printmaking. Each class will build upon the one prior, culminating in an art exhibit, which will be open to both parents and the public.
Telluride Figure Skating Club
The Figure Skating Club offers two programs geared toward teaching students the fundamentals of figure skating and hockey skating. All ability levels are welcome!
FIGURE SKATING: The program will help students to build coordination, strength and balance while learning the fundamentals of forward and backward skating, stops, crossovers, tricks and turns. This curriculum will follow the USFSA Basic Skills, Snowplow Sam and Basic 8 Skills development progressions.
HOCKEY: This curriculum is designed to teach the fundamentals of hockey skating. In four badge levels, skaters will learn to move faster and be more agile on the ice. All elements will be taught without a stick or puck, as proper skating techniques are the primary focus of the levels. Skaters will learn the necessary fundamentals to be successful in game situations.
