Learn to Curl & Open Ice
All new curlers start with a Learn to Curl.
"Learn to Curl" and "Open Ice" are typically scheduled on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from late September through early May.
Learn to Curl - "Curling Experience"
Get the full "Curling Experience", this season by taking a Learn to Curl, followed up with a Open Ice within 2-3 weeks. This will include a full 2 hour session that will include learning to curl and time to play part of a game. Each lesson will show you the basic skills and expectations, with the intent of acclimating you to moving on ice before you start playing a game. This experience also includes a free beer or soft drink for after the session to partake in our "broomstacking", one of the best parts of curling!
Your Open Ice is included in the price of your learn to curl to come back and play a full 1.5 hr game. So don't miss out and reserve your Open Ice while your lesson is still fresh on your mind.
$35 / individual
$280 / sheet if 8 or less people. You can put up to 10 people on the same sheet at the same rate of $35 a person.

Safety First
Just like any other sport, injuries can happen in curling. This is why we want you to take safety seriously. 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.
