What Is Adaptive Curling?

Adaptive curling is a version of the sport designed for athletes who use wheelchairs. Participants deliver stones using specialized delivery sticks while enjoying the same strategy, teamwork, and excitement that make curling one of the world's most unique sports.
Curling equipment is provided, and assistance is available throughout each session.

Our adaptive curling program began through a partnership with the VA and has grown into a welcoming community focused on making curling accessible to everyone.
