End of Summer 5-Day Skill and Fitness Camp - “A One-Week Summer Extension for Aspiring Paddlers.”
Cheema is offering a 5-day camp from August 24th to August 28th designed to keep the summer fun and skill development going for one more week. Paddlers between 10-14 years of age who are considering year-round programs are a perfect fit for this short, intense program. Other aged athletes may be considered but must consult a Cheema coach first.
Participants can expect to have focused coaching on their paddling technique and to be pushed a little bit more to enhance their fitness level.
We will be forming groups of 15 paddlers per coach to keep the group size manageable and ensure an enhanced development opportunity. Registration will be limited to the number of available qualified coaches, so register early to save a place.
Participants can expect to paddle in singles once a day as well as crew boats. On alternate days, there will be a calisthenic workout or a running practice. The rest of the day will offer time for games, flexibility training and to review technical videos of some of the world’s best paddlers as well as video analysis of the participants in their practices.
The Best Summer Ever just got a little longer. We hope you can join us, but don’t wait, spots are limited.
Schedule:
Time: Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 4:00pm (drop off starts at 8:30, pick up by 4:30)
