About
Our new Collegiate program is designed for athletes who are attending post secondary or working. Offering 3 coached sessions per week with the option to join for additional cost, this program is designed to maintain advanced canoe/kayak paddling skills while also focusing on building foundational strength and fitness skills in preparation for the racing season.
Athletes in this program are encouraged to train together as a group outside of coached times. Club, CKBC, and CKC membership is included, but regatta fees are not included in this program. Athletes will be required to pay their own regatta fees.
