What is the Coolest Place in Andover this Summer?

As the weather heats up and people start thinking about the beach, camping, and outdoor sports. Very few have learned that some of the best programs around can be found in your local ice rink! Year-round ice rinks usually have the opportunity to hold their own programs to fill in the ice time. For instance, Phillips Academy Ice Rinks (here in Andover) stays busy all summer long with summer camps, learn to skate programs, learn to play hockey programs, figure skating, and more.

Summer camps are one of the biggest activities for kids, once they are out of school. Phillips Academy offers multiple summer camps available for hockey players and figure skaters of all ages. From figure skating performances, to hockey/lacrosse, to prep school coach ran hockey practices, the summer is jam packed with activities for every skater.

Many parents inquire about how to get their kids on skates, or how to get them started in hockey. The best ways to do it are to join programs that are taught by professional coaches. Learn to skate and learn to play hockey programs are available to all ages in Andover.

If interested in any on-ice programs, check out Phillips Academy's website for the full details. This ice rinks has adult hockey, figure skating, a hockey school, and also a skating school year-round. As crazy as it may sound, summer is one of the best times to get involved.

Stay cool!
