Curling Updates
Junior Curling
Our junior programs are now in full swing!
Junior High Performance, led by Rob Adams, runs on Mondays from 3:45–5:15pm.
This program is for juniors who are competing or looking to compete in youth events.
Junior Practice & Play, led by Emma Artichuk, begins on Monday, November 24 and also runs from 3:45–5:15pm.
Emma has taught with Rocks & Rings and the Trillium Junior Camps, and is herself a competitive curler. We’re excited to welcome her to the team!
There is still space available in both Monday programs.
Our first Kids Curl-a-Palooza of the season took place last Saturday—and what a blast it was!
Participants enjoyed an hour of curling, followed by pizza, an ice cream sundae bar, and an entertaining magic show by Wij the Magician.
Thank you to our staff for going the extra mile and to our wonderful volunteers who helped with instruction.
Our next Kids Curl-a-Palooza is on January 17. You can sign up here.
