Join us for a fun afternoon of ice skating at the University of Illinois Ice Arena! In addition to skating, we’ll share practical tips and resources for weathering the winter in Illinois. Representatives from McKinley Health Center will also provide information on how to stay safe, healthy, and warm during the colder months.

Skate rental is included, and a mini-skating lesson will be provided. Hot chocolate will be available to help you warm up after your time on the ice.

Important Notes: 

  • Participants must acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of ice skating. Waiver forms will be provided and must be signed before you can step on the ice. 

  • Registration is not required, but the Ice Arena has a maximum capacity. If the rink is full, you may be asked to wait before entering. 

  • For first-time or beginner skaters, you may want to watch this five-minute introductory resource video beforehand: https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_5kk3djbw. This will provide a basic overview on how to properly tie skates for those who are new or inexperienced with skating.

This free event is open to international students, scholars, and their dependents (ages 10+). No registration required.  Whether you’re new to skating or an experienced pro, come chill with us at Weathering the Winter!
