Peterborough Canoe and Kayak Club
Here are the summer programs for 2023!
We're extra-excited about our new 'Learn to Race' camps, which are perfect for paddlers who've been with us before, or beginners who have a competitive spirit. These two sessions help campers get ready to try out canoe/kayak racing!
It's not all about the kids! Check out our Master's Program for ages 25+, and any skill level. No excuses - paddling is an accessible sport, and we're working hard to get everybody having fun in a boat.

Program participants are eligible to compete in their age groups at regattas across the province, and Nationals in Halifax, too!

Race fees and transportation are not included in the program fee.
We prioritize safety. We will choose boats appropriate for your skill level, and paddlers must wear PFD's on the water. Our safety boat is always nearby, ready to help, if you happen to tip.
