While you might have watched curling on TV during a past Winter Olympics, have you ever wondered what it's like to lunge across the ice with a 'rock' or sweep with a curling broom? Fortunately, a dedicated curling facility located just north of New York City is opening its doors to non-members who want to learn the tips and tricks of this mysterious sport. Are you ready to try your hand at the art of curling with veteran curlers?
Join New York Adventure Club for a fun evening of hands-on curling instruction, activities, and games at the Ardsley Curling Club, a historic curling club in Dobbs Ferry, NY that has been the home of curling in Westchester County since its formation in the 1930s.
Led by experienced members of the Ardsley Curling Club, our private curling experience will include:
- Exclusive access to the curling facility for three hours, including two hours on the ice
- An overview of curling basics , including off-ice instruction, stretching, equipment setup, and safety information
- Dedicated on-ice instruction with instructors who will teach you everything from delivery and sweeping to scoring and strategy
- Over an hour of gameplay , with the opportunity to play a mini-game against other teams
-A chance to socialize afterward with your fellow adventurers in the curling club's warm room
What are you waiting for? It's time to experience the sport of curling first-hand!
See you there!
*Transportation to/from Ardsley-on-Hudson, NY is not included.
**Please bring (don't wear) a clean pair of athletic shoes with you to wear on the ice — this will help us keep the ice clean. The 'ice house' is roughly 40 degrees, so we suggest wearing a sweater or light jacket, and pants that you can move around in (sweatpants or yoga pants are ideal). Gloves are also recommended.
***Feel free to bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks as the facility does not have a restaurant.
****Guests between 12-18 years old can participate in on-ice activity if their liability waiver is signed by a parent or legal guardian.
*****After registering, see the 'additional information' section of your order confirmation for other important details including a mandatory online waiver to sign, which can be accessed through here
