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.  ​
