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.

What to bring to Intro to Sprint Paddling
The Rideau Canoe Club will provide all the necessary paddling equipment except for the life jacket.
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.
