INTRO TO SPRINT PADDLING CAMP

Intro to Sprint Paddling is a two-week introduction to competitive Sprint Canoe-Kayak for athletes aged 14 and under (born 2010 - 2015). Throughout the camp the paddlers will progress through all the basic skills of sprint paddling.

Paddlers will learn about water safety rules for sprint boats, how to balance, paddle, and train in sprint kayaks and canoes. The summer sessions of Intro to Sprint Paddling include the opportunity to race at a fun, local regatta. Participants will learn competition skills and rules for sprint canoe kayak, and will participate in on and off water training sessions.

Inclement Weather
Intro to Sprint Paddling Camps can still have fun in the rain! However, if there is heavy rain, gusty winds, thunderstorms we can not be on the water, and will have to cancel sessions. We monitor weather daily and if inclement weather that will prevent us from being on the water is forecasted on the Weather Network we will cancel the session and contact you (up to 30 minutes prior). Should unsafe weather conditions arise unexpectedly, the canoe club can shelter the children temporarily and we will contact you for pick up.
