Carolina Ice Palace’s Adult Skating Weekend is designed for skaters over the age of 21 who want to hone their skills in a fun and welcoming environment. We will have two tracks to accommodate competitive skaters, skaters testing for personal achievement, and basic skills skaters who want to improve. An expert coaching team and inspiring skaters will provide technique and skill development instruction. Our mission is to create a joyful, friendly environment where skaters encourage and support each other. This is a great opportunity to make new friends, sharpen your skating skills and techniques, and just have a lot of fun.
