Actually the bond would be an ionic bond because the chemicals are on either side of the Periodic Table. The chemicals wouldn't share the valence electrons, the chemical of calcium would give up it' selectron because it takes less energy.

Ionic. Generally a good guess whenever a halogen (2nd from right column on table) is involved with an alkali metal or alkali earth metal (left two columns on the periodic table).

Of course remember bonds are a continuum from ionic to covalent, depending on electronegativity differential. That said, CaCl2 is going to have a strongly ionic bond. And form pretty crystals.
