Balmy Beach Canoe Club

Canoe Kids Summer Programs

Canoe Kids are our youngest members at the club. All new paddlers are welcome regardless of age, skill level or experience. Beginners receive quality coaching and supervision as we introduce them to single, double, and four-person racing canoes and kayaks, as well as big boat C15s and Dragon boats. Paddlers have the opportunity to participate in local regattas tailored to their age and skill level all while making new friends, connecting with nature, and learning a new sport. Experienced paddlers can improve their skills and compete locally, regionally, and even nationally, but the focus for everyone is always on fun.
