THE TRILLIUM SUMMER CURLING CAMP
The sixteenth annual Trillium Curling Camp will operate for two weeks in Guelph, Ontario. The dates are August 10-15 and August 17-22 . Each camp will accommodate 96 curlers aged 13-19 who have at least two years of curling experience. They will be placed in one of three categories -Intermediate (13-15 years old), Advanced (15-17 years old) or High Performance (16-19 years old), based on their age and their competitive /coaching experience. There is no division for new curlers at this camp. We will stay at the University of Guelph, with all of our meals, curling and coaching being provided at the Guelph Curling Club.
Last year's campers and those on last year's wait list will be mailed a brochure and registration form on January 8, 2008 . You should register immediately. Spots for the first mailing list group will be held until January 16 only. Due to the large 2007 wait list, there are more people on this mailing list than there are spots in the camp . . On January 16 the same brochure and registration form will be mailed to curling clubs in Southern Ontario. Openings that exist after January 20 will be filled by "new" registrants. There is no pre-registration for the camp and there is no registration by phone, fax or email.
REGISTERING BY MAIL: Send your registration form and cheque to the Post Office box number printed on the registration form. Send applications by regular mail, Priority Post, or Purolator . (Do not use another courier company as they will not be accepted at a post office box). Cheque can be post-dated to February 1, 2008 and should be made out to the Ontario Curling Association.
