The Port Elgin Curling Club is welcoming the Girls Rock program on February 24.
The program was created by Curling Canada, in co-operation with CurlOn and funded by Sport Canada.
"It's to introduce girls to curling and provide leadership experience to local female coaches, instructions, and past champions," said Debbie Struys, president of the curling club and program coordinator for Girls Rock.
It's open to girls aged 9 to 16.
"It creates a safe and calm space for girls to try a new sport with their friends," said Struys. "It incorporates a holistic approach, which combines both on and off ice skill development.
Skills participants will learn include warmup, safety, four step delivery and how to release a rock, and sweeping.
"In the afternoon, we will have a 15 minute instruction on gameplay and mini games as well," she said.
Registration is open with only 32 spots available. It will take place at the Port Elgin Curling Club from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lunch and equipment is provided. All you need to bring is stretchy, warm clothes, clean shoes, mittens or gloves, and a helmet.
