If you've ever wanted to try curling - for a low cost with no committment required - you have found the right place!
Join us for a two hour lesson on the A-Z basics of curling. We have specifically designed a program to give you the basic skills that you need to continue with more advanced lessons, join a beginner league, or come out for a recreational event. We have also put two of these lessons at the very beginning of our curling season. So if you decide that you love it, you'll have lots of opportunities to get involved! If those first dates don't work for you, we have several other Try Curling opportunities throughout the season, so consider joining us on another date.
Our lead instructor Sarah has taught more of these programs than she could ever begin to count and has worked hard to create a program that is both fun and informative.
About the Lesson
Each lesson will be two hours and will run with a minimum of 4 participants. We would encourage you, if you are considering registering, talk to friends, family, co-workers, or anyone else about joining you. Curling is a social sport and it is very likely that your experience will be enhanced with friends around. The cutoff for registration is 24 hours prior to each Try Curling event, so if we do not meet the minimum participant threshold, you will get an email notice 24 hours in advance.
When are the Lessons?
We will host two Try Curling lessons before our season starts, and three others throughout the season. Click on the date you are interested in to be redirected to the registration page.

How Much?
Each lesson is $20.00 for each participant. Your fee gets you a two hour lesson with qualified instructors and all necessary curling equipment.
What do I Need to Bring?
The RCCC will provide all curling equipment required for the lesson. All participants are responsible for bringing clean, indoor running shoes and appropriate clothing. The best clothing is long, stretchy pants of some kind (tights, sweatpants, track pants, etc) and layers on top. While the temperature in the rink is not arctic, it is an ice rink and can get chilly. It's far better to have the layers and not need them, than the other way around.
Gloves and hats are encouraged - to your comfort - but please ensure that any gloves do not have fuzz or sparkles that will fall onto the ice during the lesson.
Please note: A CSA approved helmet is required for anyone under the age of 12. While anyone over the age of 12 is not required to wear a helmet, we always recommend helmets to anyone who is not completely comfortable on the ice surface.
If you do have your own curling equipment, please feel free to bring it along! We will teach you how to use it safely.
Please note: Clean shoes are mandatory. It is extremely important that shoes worn outside in the snow, water, and gravel not come on to our curling ice. The RCCC does not have spare shoes at the club, so if a participant arrives to a lesson with inappropriate shoes, it is likely that they will be unable to participate on the ice.
Who Can Join?
Anyone! Anyone and everyone!
Although most of our programs throughout the season are designed for participants 18 years and older, Try Curling Lessons are open to anyone. If you do want to bring your children out for a fun curling experience, please ensure that there is at least a 2-1 child to adult ratio. A 1-1 ratio is recommended, but 2-1 is acceptable if the adult is comfortable supervising 2 children.
Please note: A CSA approved helmet is required for anyone under the age of 12. While anyone over the age of 12 is not required to wear a helmet, we always recommend helmets to anyone who is not completely comfortable on the ice surface.
Curling has also made many improvements in the last couple of decades to broaden the accessibility of the sport. If crouching down and sliding seems impossible, stick curling is an option. This keeps the participant upright at all times. The RCCC ice surface is also wheelchair accessible.
