Sprint Paddling

Sprint canoe and kayak

“Sprint canoe and kayak is all about speed on the water. Strength, technique, endurance and raw speed are all elements of this impressive Olympic discipline. In addition to the most elite athletes, sprint paddling can be enjoyed by kids as young as five and Masters paddlers into their 80s. It’s a sport that involves the entire body, including the legs which push and pull to generate power with the stroke.” Canoe Kayak Canada (CKC)

The Cascades Club believes that every child should have the right to paddle (and/or) attend camp, therefore we are introducing a new financial assistance program for anyone needing financial support for one of the Cascades Club’s paddling camps (and/or) summer camps. Please contact the Summer Camp Director (and/or) Paddling Program Director for more information.
