The four-day curling camp is aimed at people of all skill levels, ages and genders. We plan to create a beginners' group, a children's group, junior groups and groups for adults. Classes will be conducted by 7-8 coaches from Poland and abroad. Each day will include two sessions on the ice, one theory class in the lecture hall, fitness tests, and one or two other sports activities at the centre in Wilkasy, with the possibility of using the ice in the afternoons and evenings, as well as individual consultations with coaches. The camp is aimed at individuals and entire teams.

For beginners and intermediate curlers , we provide brushes and slides, and for everyone, a coffee buffet between sessions and, of course, commemorative festival T-shirts.

For those staying in Wilkasy, we provide daily bus transport to and from the ice rink (about 15 minutes each way). Free access to the centre's facilities (SPA, sports facilities, sports equipment) and discounts on specialised rehabilitation treatments and massages. Lunches during the camp are delivered to the ice rink in order to make the most effective use of time on the ice.

An international curling tournament for 30-36 teams. Matches start on Thursday morning, with 5 matches guaranteed. The tournament ends on Saturday. Schenkel system, with sports equipment and unforgettable gifts prepared by the festival's patrons up for grabs.
