U14 & U15+ High Performance

March / April: Attending the provincial Florida Training Camp is an option for athletes 14+ who will compete at all four O-Cups, and/or who have permission from Petrie Island Canoe Club’s Head Coach. Training camp is very physically demanding, so a good rule of thumb is that athletes considering applying should be consistently training at least 5X/week. Athletes returning from camp will start practicing on the water again as soon as possible (April / May).

Alternatively, there may also be an opportunity to attend CKO Sprint’s Welland Development camp in late April, early May. Otherwise, it’s business as usual. Winter training wraps up as soon as we can get on the water. May / June: Getting on the water early helps athletes get ready for provincial & national team trials!
