• Campers must be 7-12 years old 
• Although no paddling experience is required, Canoe Kids Camps participants must demonstrate minimum swim ability, if campers cannot complete the swim assessment they will not be able to continue in the camp. 

2 swim assessment dates have been set-up to help determine if a child needs to improve their swimming skills prior to camp starting. If your child takes the swim assessment on one of these dates and passes, they will not have to take it again on the first day of camp...unless they want to! The assessment will take place by the doc at the Rideau Canoe Club in the waters of Mooney's Bay supervised by a certified lifeguard. No registration is necessary.

• Sunday, June 23 from 1 pm to 2:30 pm
• Monday, June 24 from 6 pm to 7:30 pm

• The canoe club will provide all paddling equipment. Although Rideau has PFD’s for paddlers use, participants are welcome to bring their own. PFD’s must fit ‘properly’ to be acceptable. 
• Two changes of clothing will be required; clothing should be comfortable, loose fitting and preferably made of quick drying fabric (they do get wet!). 
• Running shoes are required for dry-land games. 
•  Sun screen, water bottle, healthy lunches and snacks are needed for each day. Some days the club will have a pizza lunch; more information will be given after registration.
