A two-week introduction to the sport of canoe/kayak, with a focus on developing fitness and introducing the fundamentals of balance,
technique, and crew boat skills for racing. The camp culminates in a racing opportunity at the end of week two.

No prior canoe/kayak experience is required and the atmosphere of the camp will be supportive to beginners, however participants should be willing to challenge themselves as they progress over the two week span and be enthusiastic to try out the competitive side of the sport.
  
The Novice Camp will function independently for half of the two week term, and will combine with the Canoe Kids Summer Camp for the rest of the time to create a full day schedule.  The Canoe Kids Camp is focused primarily on fun and recreation, and will provide a
complimentary balance to the competition focus of the Novice Racing
component, to give a broader introduction to paddle sports over the
two weeks.

Cost is inclusive of all coaching, equipment, and race fees; all
activities including the race will be taking place at the

Welland International Flatwater Centre
