U14 Sprint Paddling (2008) Contact: U14sprint@rideaucanoeclub.ca
Participants are organized by age, and participate in 3 blocks per day: canoeing, kayaking, and dryland/games. They will also swim and engage in recreational boats such as SUP boards. Paddlers will learn about water safety rules and how to balance, paddle, and train in sprint kayaks and canoes. Each session they will do a warm up, practice/work out, and cool down.
If you are new to the sport and are not sure if a summer-long program is right for your child, the Intro to Sprint Program is a great introduction to the sport that is available as a 2-week camp in the summer that does not require a membership. Membership is required before being able to register for a sprint program.
Info and updates regarding Covid-19 can be found on our website HERE.
Paddlers must demonstrate a minimum swimming ability before getting in a boat. For more info on the Swim Assessment, click HERE.

Volunteering
The RCC is proud to host and attend several regattas throughout the on water season. The only way for a regatta to happen is with the help of our committed volunteers. Part of becoming a member of the RCC and signing up for the Sprint Program is committing to volunteering as per the RCC Volunteer Policy. Volunteering is great way to get to know the sport and wonderful people who make it such a special environment. We look forward to seeing you at one of the events! Any questions about volunteering can be directed to the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@rideaucanoeclub.ca.
