PLEASE NOTE: WE CANNOT ACCOMMODATE DATE/TIME REQUESTS FOR CERTIFICATE HOLDERS. We have a limited number of Learn to Curls pre-scheduled throughout the year (PLEASE CHECK OUR CLUB CALENDAR FOR ALL UPCOMING DATES), and they are reserved on a first-come-first-served basis. We cannot guarantee a spot in your preferred Learn to Curl, even if you purchase a gift certificate. The good news -- these gift certificates never expire!

COVID-19 Policy

If you feel ill leading up to or on the day of your event, please do not show up! We can reschedule you or provide a refund of your deposit.

Waivers

All curling participants are required to fill out a waiver. A link to the online waiver will be sent along with the booking confirmation and reminder emails.

Be on Time

Please make sure your entire group is at the club 15 minutes before your reservation time to fill out waivers and clean shoes. Any attendee more than 15 minutes late (from session start time) will be considered a "no-show" and may have their spot given to a walk-in.

What to Wear

  • Carry in a pair of shoes with clean, flat, rubber soles with no metal hooks or anything that may scratch the ice (clean tennis shoes are ideal). NO heels, flip flops, boots, or sandals.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. It is difficult to curl in tight jeans.
  • Dress in layers with a light jacket, sweater, or sweatshirt. Initially, it will be chilly on the ice, but you can get quite warm once you start playing. The air temperature is usually between 40 and 42 degrees.
  • A hat and gloves may be appropriate if you chill easily.
  • We strongly recommend that all individuals wear head protection.

Head Protection

We do our very best to instruct everyone how to curl safely, but ice is slippery and accidents can and do happen. We encourage everyone to wear head protection. Examples of acceptable head protection include:

  • Impact head guards
  • Properly fitting bicycle, skateboard, ski, snowboard, or hockey helmets

There are others which can also work, and the event coordinator will have the discretion to approve or reject adequacy of head protection. Please contact the Learn to Curl Coordinator with any questions.

Age Restrictions

Please consider our Junior Learn to Curl program.

Under 18

  • Curlers under 18 years of age must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian before going on the ice.

Under 14

  • All participants 14 years of age and younger are required to bring and wear a helmet while on the ice. Please see the section on appropriate head protection above.
  • An adult should accompany children under 14 on the ice at all times.

Under 7

  • Children under 7 are not allowed on the ice.
