CURLING CAMPS
Curling Ontario runs two premier summer camps for junior curlers: Amethyst (North Bay) and Trillium (Waterloo). Both week‑long, coach‑led programs focus on on‑ice skills, team play, fitness and off‑ice learning — all delivered in a fun, community‑oriented environment for curlers with 1–2 years’ experience.
