Lift classes are also offered.

Elite sessions are offered to skaters at the National level who have been selected to compete Internationally for the current competitive season.

The first two weeks (June 2 - June 13) the Training Center will follow a modified Winter 2007-2008 schedule. There is a separate registration form for weeks 1 and 2. The week of August 18- 22 will be a ticket only week, and the schedule for ice time will be available in the lobby of the Fred Rust Arena. There will be no pre-registration for week 12; availability is strictly first come, first served.

The 2008 Summer schedule will begin June 16 and will continue through August 15.
