The Cambridge Skating Club has been offering skating programs for 73 years out of historic Galt Arena Gardens in Cambridge. We are an Exceeded Standard Canskate Excellence club and offer both Canskate and STARSkate programs, from tots to adults.

Our programs run on Monday 5:00-8:00pm, Wednesday 5:30-9:30pm, Friday 4:30-7:00pm and Saturday 7:30am-2pm from September to April.
