Intro to Competitive Whitewater Kayaking Summer Camp

The Intro to Comp Kayaking Summer Camp is geared to youth ages 11-15. Participants will delve into the various disciplines of competitive whitewater kayaking on the beautiful Chilliwack River. Areas of study will be Slalom racing, river running, and freestyle kayaking.

This is the perfect summer camp for youth ages 11-15 who are looking for some summer excitement and adventure with a competitive edge! If you find that competitive kayaking is your thing, this camp will also prepare you for the CCEPC Athlete Development Program.

The prerequisite to this camp is the CCEPC Intro to whitewater course, CCEPC Grom Camp, CCEPC Girls in Whitewater Camp, or an equivalent whitewater program.

Ages: 11-15yrs

Club provides kayak, paddle, PFD, and Spraydeck, but please prepare to get wet and dress for the weather.

DRESS: Wear a wetsuit if possible. The water at Cultus Lake is cool all year round. If you do not have a wetsuit the club has some to lend for the event but cannot guarantee availability or fit.

If a wetsuit is not possible, please wear snug clothing and do not wear cotton. Spandex, Fleece, Polypropylene are best as a base layer, and a wind breaker or rain jacket on top. Also wear water shoes or runners that you can swim with. (No flip-flops, crocs or bulky sandals.) Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses are also recommended.

Also remember to bring a dry change of clothes for after the lesson.
