U10 / U12 / U14 Eight-Week Summer Camps

Our Sprint Competitive program introduces young kids to the sport of Competitive Canoe Kayak while they’re busy having fun with their friends at the beach. Experienced coaches take into account a beginner’s age, experience and fitness level, and build athletic skills and capabilities from there. Over time, paddlers develop focus, learn to take direction and work as a team, and develop their work ethic. On weekends, the team races together at regattas!

U10: Learn by playing. Have fun the whole summer- mostly paddling, but also swimming, running, and playing games.

U12: Still mostly playing in boats. Starting to learn to basic paddling technique and teamwork.

U14: Use proper technique, develop proficiency in singles and crew boats, build endurance, continually improve their speed and strength, and still have fun every day!

Dates: From July 2 to August 23, 2024
Schedule: Full days, Monday to Friday, with Regattas on weekends. See regatta schedule.

U15+ High Performance Eight-Week Program

The U15+ High Performance program supports the developing athlete’s natural progression to a higher level of performance. High Performance athletes set realistic goals, and work with their coach to move ever-closer towards achieving them. Athletes learn that when they consistently attend practices and try their best, they can expect results. Athletes continue to hone their technique, improve their teamwork, and gradually gain the experience, knowledge, and skills that are key to success. Petrie Island Canoe Club’s U15+ athletes are also encouraged to start taking on leadership roles at the club; everything from setting a good example for the younger club kids, to getting special certifications and volunteering through our Leadership programs!

U14 athletes who have reached the “Learn to Compete” stage may be invited to train with the High-Performance group at select practices.  Each athlete’s developmental stage will be determined by their coach.
