Regatta-Ready: Introduction to Sprint Canoe-Kayak

Two-Week Summer Camps

Designed for Ages 8-14, our beginner summer camp is the introduction into sprint canoe-kayak. Each day on the water, you’ll improve your strength, skills, balance, steering, and endurance. By the time you have been paddling for two weeks, you will be ready for your first regatta! Races are fun, low-key, and designed with beginners in mind! Parents are welcome to attend.

* Beginners often tip when they first start paddling sprint boats, but tipping your boat is not an emergency, because we’ll teach you how to do it safely. After a few days, you will barely tip at all, but you’ll still know what to do if it ever happens!

Minimum Swimming Standards: Participants MUST pass the “Swim to Survive” test.
