Hi Rick,I wanted to thank you again for such an amazing curling camp. Jed really enjoyed himself. I felt the content and combination of on/off ice time was very well organized. The instructors were all professional, kind and most importantly exuded patience when working together with the children and took the time to answer questions from not only the children ...

Kelsea was one of your students at the Moncton camp. The experience was truly great. 2 days of recaps on the drive back to Ontario would be the clue. Other than the heat in the rooms, and the odd meal, there were no complaints from her. A fan that I was able to buy made the heat bearable anyways. From ...

Kelsea's first time on  the ice  was Friday (Oct. 12).  Wow, what an improvement. A much smoother, more refined delivery.  Her coaches were very impressed. Draw weight was great, with  so much more knowledge.
Thank you

He played lead for the past three years but is skipping his own team this year and they have had great success in the two bonspiels they’ve participated in (two semi final losses in a Junior Slam Series event and an OJCT event). He, his vice (also new to ...

Rick Perron and his coaches from the Center of Curling Excellence asked me to write about how the no lift delivery has affected me. I have been curling for 42 years. I am 55 and was taught to curl by a very good competitive curler that curled on a top provincial  team. When I started curling there was no standard ...

Hi RickA little note to let you know the Girls are enjoying their week immensely! This evening was great. Emma and Lisa did a great job with the kids tonight.
