Hershey Figure Skating Club will offer Therapeutic Skating beginning on Monday, March 4, at 4:30 p.m. at the Giant Center, 550 W. Hersheypark Drive, Hershey.
The five-week session is for adults and children who have developmental disabilities or who are recovering from an injury. Now beginning its second year, the program has served individuals with Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, and traumatic brain injury, but it is open to others who need specialized coaching or a quieter skating environment.
Skaters will be paired with their own volunteer buddy and work at their own pace under the guidance of a USFSA-certified coach. Participants should bring a bike helmet or hockey helmet. Walkers will be provided for those who need one.
There is a fee for the series, plus an annual Learn-to-Skate USA membership fee. Parking is free. For registration and information, readers may visit https://hersheyfigureskating.org/therapeutic or email hersheyfigureskate@gmail.com.
