Last year's campers and those on last year's wait list will be mailed a brochure and registration form on January 15, 2010. The registration form should be completed and returned immediately to the camp office. Spots for the first mailing list group will be held until January 19 only. Be aware that there are more people on this mailing list than there are spots in the camp. This is due to the large wait list from last year and these people are included in this mailing.

On January 19, the same brochure and registration form will be mailed to curling clubs in Southern Ontario. Openings that exist after January 19 will be filled by "new" registrants, according to the date they are received in the Trillium Camp office. (This is not the OCA office, but rather the post office box address printed on the registration form). You are advised to send all applications by regular mail or priority post. Do not use a courier company, as they often will not be delivered to a post office box number.

This camp fills quickly for both weeks. We expect to be completely full with a wait list by the end of January / early February. Please return the completed application form with the cheque for the full amount as soon as you have completed the forms. 
 
The Ontario Curling Association has set the cost this year at $830.00, (a slight increase from last year) which includes GST.  Meals, accommodation, coaching, ice time, camp picture, shirt, daily bus travel and extra-curricular activities (swimming, bowling, pool hall, a dance and other fun, evening activities) are also all included. Campers are not allowed to drive personal cars during their stay at the camp.

You will be working with the best coaches in Ontario and from all across Canada. Many of them have been with us for several years and they are a major part of making this camp such a wonderful experience for the young curlers. Guest presenters in the past have included Russ Howard, Wayne Middaugh, Marilyn Bodogh, Glenn Howard, Ian Tetley, Neil Harrison, Lindsay Sparkes, Sherry Middaugh, Paul Savage, Brent Laing, Anne Merklinger, Olympic Gold Medalists Brad Gushue and Mark Nichols, and all of our 2009 Men’s and Women’s Canadian University Champions…all of whom are graduates of the Trillium and Amethyst camps. 

There is no pre-registration for the camp. There is no registration by phone or fax or e-mail. The forms and cheques (can be post-dated to February 1, 2010 if you wish)  must be received to be included. The cheques will not be deposited until after February 1, 2008. A registration form will be available on this website on January 19. If used, it must be printed off, completed and returned by mail of Priority Post to the camp office.

Please read the Privacy of Information policy on the OCA website  www.ontcurl.com By signing the registration form, you are giving permission for the OCA and Performax Coaching, Inc to use the camp information gathered and pictures taken at the camp, as outlined in the policy and on our websites.
