In an effort to promote and re-energize youth curling in the Parkland region, volunteers are working on multiple initiatives for young curlers, according to Dave Baron, one of the organizers.
The first initiative is a curling training camp, to be held on Oct. 23 in Yorkton.
"This camp will be for accomplished, competitive young curlers," said Baron. "It is designed to help young curlers prepare for advanced competition."
On Oct. 24, a workshop day will be held in Yorkton for young curlers just getting started in the sport.
"This camp will be for beginning, inexperienced curlers and is designed to familiarize young curlers with the game," continued Baron. "If our first two initiatives are successful, we hope to organize some interschool competition. To that end we are trying to engage young athletes through their schools."
Baron said they are working with the following school systems: Good Spirit School Division, Christ the Teacher Catholic Schools, and Yorkton Tribal Council.
There has been strong interest shown to this point, but Baron said they have room for more curlers.
