Curling is a great team-building event for your business, organization, or private party!
The Rochester Curling Club offers ice rentals during our regular season from October through April. Our all-volunteer organization offers:
- Two-hour on-ice (introductory or advanced) curling experiences
- Optional meeting room rental before and/or after the curling experience
Our curling season runs from mid October through mid April.
The Basics
A two-hour session typically includes instruction, practice, and an instructor-assisted curling match. Arrive 20 minutes beforehand to be fitted with our rubberized grippers and to view a short video on the sport,.
If your group is more experienced and have previously curled with us, instruction time may be reduced to provide more time on the ice.
If anyone in your group experiences knee, back, or hip problems, we can instruct them in the use of a shuffleboard-style stick that will allow them to keep upright while delivering a stone.
Group Size
Groups of 8 to 32 people can be accommodated at one time on our 4 sheets of curling ice. Larger groups can be managed with more flexible and creative planning.
Rates
Rates are based on the number of ice sheets required for the size of your group.
- 1 Sheet (up to 8 people) - $400
- 2 Sheets (9 to 16 people) - $800
- 3 Sheets (17 to 24 people) - $1200
- 4 Sheets (25 to 32 people) - $1600
This curling experience is not recommended for children under 10. Groups that include children younger than 10, or those with special needs, may be considered on an individual basis.

Soda and juice is available to purchase or you may bring in your own non-alcoholic beverages. We do NOT accept cash.
Please note that outside alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
What to Wear
The air in our Ice House is just above freezing, so you should dress warmly. Locker rooms are available for changing. We recommend:
- Wicking fabric and removable layers
- Wind breaker or synthetic outer layer with warm inner layers
- Flexible athletic pants (like yoga pants, or hiking/golf pants)
- Thin gloves with grip
- Hats
- Jeans are discouraged, as non-flexible materials will restrict your movement and get cold
- Fleece clothing is discouraged to limit debris on our ice
Footwear
Clean, relatively flat sneakers are best for curling. Please carry in clean shoes separately, as our parking lot tends to be snowy in the winter, and we want to keep our curling ice as dirt-free as possible.
Waiver Forms
We focus on your safety while you are at RCC, and supervise your curling experience for your safety. All participants are required to sign a waiver form. Waiver forms are filled out ahead of time with using a link provided by the group organizer.
Things to Consider
If you are interested in scheduling a group, please give us a minimum of 2 weeks notice to allow us time to line up volunteers.
