2020 Learn 2 Paddle Programs & Camps
COVID Update, May 19, 2020. The Glenmore Reservoir remains closed. We will provide further updates as the situation changes.
The Glenmore Canoe & Rowing Clubhouse remains closed until the City of Calgary Recreation Facility ban is lifted. We anticipate we will offer only limited outdoor programming for the season due to the building closure this season.
See the City’s page on the status of the Glenmore Reservor.
The Spring L2P is a condensed version of the summer program with an emphasis on introducing youth to the sprint canoe and kayaks. This program is great for youth with little to no previous experience 9 yrs +. We will start in the recreation kayaks and progress into the racing kayaks through the sessions.
Please note if you have participated in a L2P session or have previous canoe/kayak sprint racing experience you can jump right into the full time FUNdamentals Program.
