PGCKC Paddling Registration

This is the Registration Page for all our Programs. Details about our programs are listed on our website

  • All the active programs are listed below.
  • You can jump forward to a section by clicking on a menu item on the left <--
  • Not all sections have programs at this time - but more programs will be added throughout the year.
  • Please note that almost all our programs require either an Adult Club Membership or Youth Club Membership as this covers the paddling insurance.
  • Paddler Physique: Our club has a limited number of boats available and that means not every child will fit comfortably or safely within the boats (primarily our kayaks). If we have any concerns about the health and safety of your paddler using our equipment, we will discuss that with you and provide a full refund if we dont have the right equipment to provide the objectives of our program.
