Welcome to the team!
Burloak Canoe Club membership is for everyone who wants to practice and race sprint canoe/kayak. Any performance level is welcome, including beginners, but if you’re new to the sport make sure you take a look at the intro options so we can teach you everything you’ll need to know before you head to practice.
The main benefit of membership is access to exclusive programs and pricing options. Our sprint programs are available only with membership; certain add-on programs, like winter training, are offered at a discount to members. Certain club facilities, like the weight room and showers, are available only to members (with some restrictions for schedules and safety). You’re also required to be a member to race at any sprint competition. Membership does come with a volunteer commitment, but it’s easy to get done, and hopefully fun as well!
Specific schedules, including program breaks and competitions, are available on the program pages—go to “more about” your membership to see details.
