Membership is required before being able to register for a sprint program
Prerequisite: Must have completed 2 weeks of either Learn 2 Paddle or Intro 2 Sprint Program as it is a great introduction to the sport that is available as a 2-week camp in the summer that does not require a membership.
All programs are led by CCC coaches that are NCCP, Standard First Aid and CPR certified. All coaches have Safe Sport training, Pleasure Craft Operation cards and current Criminal Records checks.
U14 summer sprint paddling programs are full days running Monday-Friday through July and August.
Athletes are organized by age and gender, and participate in activities scheduled throughout the week: sprint canoeing, sprint kayaking, war canoe, and dryland games. They will also engage in recreational boats such recreational canoes, and kayaks, dragon boats, voyageur canoes, and outrigger canoes. Paddlers will learn about water safety rules and how to balance, paddle, and train in sprint kayaks and canoes. Each session they will do a warm up, practice/work out, and cool down. There may be opportunities to race, and racing skills will be taught as part of the practices.
