Canoe Kids SUMMER 2023
Welcome to the Richmond Hill Canoe Club Canoe Kids paddling program. Canoe Kids is designed to offer an introduction to both canoe and kayak paddling for kids 8 to 11.
This is our FUNdamentals stage where we emphasize the overall development of a child’s physical capacities, fundamental movement skills including agility, balance, coordination and speed.
It is a combination of paddling instruction and group fun on the water.
All RHCC programs require swimming ability: Lifesaving Society Swim Levels Swimmer 5 or Red Cross Level 6.
This year we are offering 6 two-week canoe kid sessions, three in the morning and three in the afternoon. Each session runs for two hours, Monday to Friday 9:00am-11:00am or 12:00pm-2:00pm. We will not be running the program on Monday July 3rd or Monday August 7th due to holiday long weekends.
If your child is 10+ and wants to paddle more, also check out our Racing Intro programs under Youth Competitive programs.
Upon completion, Canoe Kids “graduates” may continue in one of our summer long Racing Intro sessions.
