NEW Summer Camps are being offered this year with longer hours and different options depending on the age of the child. Please read the Canoe Kids and Sprint Starter descriptions below to ensure you are booking the correct camp for your child.
All of our programs use a variety of boats, including sprint canoes and kayaks, introductory boats, canoes and larger crew boats. Racing and more experienced paddlers will spend more time with racing boats, both single-boats and crews.
