We are excited to be offering Club memberships for Hockey and Figure Skating, Public Skating, Public Group Ice Skating Lessons, Learn to Play Hockey, Youth & Adult Hockey Clinics and much more. Please follow the links below to register. We look forward to having you on the ice with us!!
For over sixty years our Club has been committed to program excellence. In 1998 Wissahickon Skating Club was the host of the US National Figure Skating Championship held in Philadelphia. Also in 1998, our most notable hockey alumnus and New York Rangers Stanley Cup Champion Goaltender, Mike Richter, represented the United States in the Olympics. Richter was also the named the starting goaltender for the US in the 2002 Olympics where he won a Silver Medal.
Since the Club opened its doors in October of 1956, we have been one of only 7 or 8 Skating Clubs in the United States to own its own facility. This, in itself, is very unique and something our members cherish. WSC is a very special place – a Club that our families call Home.

2023 Get the Edge Summer Figure Skating Camp
Click Here to Register!
About Our Camp
Whether you skate for fun or aspire to improve your skating skills for individual or team competitions, Get the Edge Summer Figure Skating Camp can help you reach your personal skating goals. Our staff of highly qualified coaches are trained in all disciplines of figure skating and are here to help you to improve your skills in a nurturing environment encouraging fun and safety while challenging skaters to take chances and try some new techniques. This camp is designed for skaters ages 7 to 15 who are comfortable on the ice skating forwards and backwards. We recommend that skaters be at least past Basic Skills Level II. Our camp leveling allows for us to be able to also cater instruction to skaters working all the way up to the higher levels of Moves and Freeskate.
Program Fee: $350/skater, Sorry but no sibling discounts.
The Program
Camp begins each day with 30-45 minutes of off-ice warm-up consisting of either a dance, stretch, or strength and conditioning class run by a dance or exercise professional. After the first off-ice session, groups will then alternate between on and off-ice classes. Our on-ice curriculum includes instruction on power, edges, freeskate jumps & spins, turns, dance, choreography and a very special Guest Instructor to be announced!
The Schedule
Our regular camp program will run Monday, August 7-Friday, August 11 from 8:30 to 1:00 daily. Skaters will move from topic to topic throughout the day with their assigned group and leader. Off and on-ice supervision is provided. Skate tying assistance can be requested although we encourage all skaters to tie their own skates. Sample schedule follows:
Grouping
Skaters will be divided based on a combination of their age and their skating ability. At the onset of the first on-ice session, all skaters will be evaluated and placed into their age/skill-appropriate group. Depending on enrollment, we will strive to have three on-ice levels (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced) so that all skaters can be both comfortable and challenged according to what they can handle and wish to learn. Skaters will be moved up or back upon request throughout the week as long as the instructors and the skater are comfortable with the level change.
Our Facility
Wissahickon Skating Club was newly renovated in 2019 and has one state of the art ice surface, a very large upstairs lounge for off-ice conditioning, dance and recreational activities, a heated lunchroom and several heated spacious locker rooms and bathroom facilities. All skaters are welcome to use our rental skates for no additional fee for the entire week of the camp.
What To Bring/How to Dress
- A yoga or pilates mat for off-ice stretch and dance
- Sneakers and comfortable clothing for skating and dance or exercise (NO FLIP FLOPS PLEASE!)
- Camper’s own water bottle with name or disposable, and if desired, a snack – skaters MUST cleanup all wrappers and remove any debris themselves. A formal lunch and/or snack is not provided.
- Layered clothing, light gloves, thin socks, light jacket.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that sometimes unforeseen events arise. If you cancel before July 31st, you will receive all but a $75 administrative fee back. There are no refunds after July 31st.
