CANOE KIDS PROGRAM COMING TO WATSON LAKE: JUNE 24 & 25 CanoeKayak BC will offer CanoeKayak Canada’s signature Day Camps focusing on skills development to introduce the sport of paddling – sprint canoe, kayak, dragonboat and recreational canoe skills to children aged 8–14 yrs. Participants will receive instruction from NCCP certified coaches, and enjoy spending time on the water practicing what they’ve learned. The daily paddling activities are balanced with games and trips to various spots on the lake, as well as lots of swimming on those hot and sunny days. No experience is needed and participants work at their own pace to develop paddling skills. Games, team boats, singles, pleasure canoes and the dragon boat will all be introduced to the participants during the week long session. The week finishes with a BBQ, mini regatta and certificate presentation. Registration in each session is limited so sign up early!
