Learn to Curl & Open Play
All new curlers start with a Learn to Curl.
Registration days are typically listed near/on weekends starting late September though early May
Learn to Curl
A Learn to Curls intent is to show you the basic skills and expectations, while hopefully allowing you to acclimate to the ice before you start playing a game.
Registration Choices are ....
- A longer 1.5 hr learn to curl on the ice that will give you a taste of playing an "end" at the end of your session
- A 1 hr learn to curl with the intent you plan to register for Open play afterwards anyway.
Either way we will offer a 1.5 open play after most learn to curls that you can register for at the time or in the future. Your First Open Play is Free.
$35 / individual
$210 / sheet - groups up to 8. ( you can include 2 extras at $20 a person paid on arrival.
Don't see a time below, contact us for other possible options. Or give the gift of curling for a future date.

Open Play
Open Play are pickup games for all curlers regardless of your experience level. Teams will be randomly put together or selected by the draw master from a pool of registered individuals, our regulars (mentors) and those who drop in last minute if space is available.

Safety First
Just like any other sport, injuries can happen in curling. This is why we want you to take safety seriously, and we encourage you to read all of the following information below before you get started.
What to Bring
Signed Waiver
Before participating, all persons will be required to sign a waiver. You can print, sign, and bring the waiver with you found below, or fill one out at the rink.
Proper Footwear
CLEAN soft rubber soled shoes, such as athletic shoes, that have grip on a smooth surface are an essential part to minimize falling. Please try not to wear hard soled shoes, cowboy boots, snow boots, or any shoe that leaves the ice feeling slippery. We ask that you carry your shoes in and change at the facility to avoid bringing dirty shoes on the ice.
Layered Comfortable Clothing
You would want to wear clothing that you can move around in comfortably. Curling can also feel cold when you first start but, after sweeping it can get quite hot, so you would want the option to shead layers.
Helmets Optional
Our club has a few helmets should you want the additional safety, however you are welcome to bring your own. While most people are able to avoid hitting ones head on the ice, it has happened and a helmet may give you another layer of protection your first time out.
Equipment Provided
We have brooms and sliders within our club for your use.
Ice can be slippery, and falling is a possibility.
