Burnaby Canoe and Kayak Club

Adult Recreational Paddling

The Adult Recreational Program (19+) at Burnaby Canoe & Kayak Club offers adults a flexible and inclusive opportunity to enjoy paddling in a recreational setting. Operating on an "Open Boathouse" model, participants have access to club equipment during scheduled paddling sessions, though direct coaching is not provided for all sessions but coach support is available. Equipment allocation prioritizes youth programming, with adult members accommodated thereafter. It's mandatory for all participants to wear life jackets during sessions, as there's no dedicated coach on the water for every session.

The program fosters community and skill development, providing informal guidance from coaches when available. Participants can expect a range of session times and frequency, along with clear safety guidelines and protocols. Respect for club equipment and facilities, adherence to safety measures, and a supportive attitude towards fellow members are expected from all participants. The program invites adults to embrace the joys of paddling and community engagement, offering a chance to connect with others while enjoying outdoor activity and physical exercise on the water.

The 2025.26 Season will provide 4 programming price models:

  1. Full Year (April 1 to March 31) - $495.00 + Associate Membership Fee of $30.00
  2. Half Year (April 1 to October 31) - $375 + Associate Membership Fee of $30.00
  3. Summer (June 1 to September 30) - $315 + Associate Membership Fee of $30.00
  4. Fall (September 1 to October 31) - $120 + Associate Membership Fee of $30.00

*Prorates are available for those joining partway through the season. Prorate is not available for the Associate Membership fee. 

***Our pricing for this program is heavily discounted to take into account the limited coaching resources available for the program.***
