Details

Is your Teen looking for a fun water based sport for this summer? This high-energy Competitive Team Program will focus on sprint technique, strength training, and speed paddling.

A great sport for kids who enjoy the independence of solo-paddling but also enjoy the camaraderie of working on a team.

Suitable for paddlers aged 12-16. No previous paddling experience required but novice paddlers may benefit from taking the Recreational program first to build up skill using the boats and stamina.

Athletes will learn both Canoe & Kayak skills and train in single (C1/K1), doubles (C2/k2) and team boats (C4).

Paddlers will be training for competitive sprint paddling; if interested, athletes will have the opportunity to attend Regattas or BC Summer Games.

This is a seven (7) week program with five (5) hours of training per week.
• Practices run every Wednesday 6pm-8pm (2hrs) and Saturday 9am-12pm (3hrs) at the Camp Hughes West Lake beach.
