Cape Cod Curling Club

and was established in 1969. The Cape Cod Curling Club is a not-for-profit 3 sheet club dedicated to education and development of this honorable sport for all ages, from 6 upwards. We also serve our community through regular fund raising events.

History

The CCCC was founded in March 1969 by a group led by Dr. David Dewees after he was introduced to the sport in Brookline MA. The club began on the ice at the Falmouth Ice Arena with stones loaned by TCC and the American Curling Foundation.

The Cape Cod Curling Club joined the Grand National Curling Club of America, and was the first club ever to send women representatives. Now the GNCC is open to both men and women.

The club's was built in 1975 and purchased by the members in 1979.

Teaching and promoting the sport of curling in the community are integral parts of the curling schedule.

Not content with winter curling, the Club sponsors three bonspiels in July -- mixed, women's and men's -- which are attended by teams from the US, Canada and Europe and even Asia. Many make this a part of their annual vacation plans.

Interest in the sport has grown as a result of curling becoming an Olympic sport at Nagano, Japan in 1998. To further support this growth, the US Curling Association developed an orientation and training video on curling. The Cape Cod Curling Club was the site for filming, due to our excellent facility. As a result, our club and members are regularly shown on video at introductory events throughout the US

Good fellowship continues off the ice, with luncheons, dinners and other social activities for all members and guests. In addition, the Cape Cod Curling Club supports the community by holding charitable curling events to raise donations to local charity organizations.

Bonspiels

The CCCC largest bonspiel is the annual Summer Bonspiel. The club runs a men's, women's, and mixed event in July each year. It is the oldest summer bonspiel in the US.
