Make a Splash! 2010 Programs

The Carleton Place Canoe Club is a non-profit organization with over 100 years of history. Managed by volunteers, we offer a variety of paddling programs which are designed to promote a positive self image, an appreciation for the sport and the spirit of cooperation and fair play. Our programs provide a group environment where beginner and experienced paddlers can develop skills in all boats: single, double, four as well as war canoe and dragon boats. Competitive programs provide the opportunity for all ages to compete in regattas throughout
the region, right up to a Provincial and National level.

Coaches, staff and volunteers work hard to ensure the safety of all participants on the water. As well as being competent paddlers, all coaches at the club are certified through our National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), confident swimmers, have First Aid, CPR-C and Boat Operator Accredited training. Safety boats are always within sight and ready to respond. To provide a safe and secure environment for our Weekly Summer Camp programs, the ratio of coaches to kids is 1:10. For all other youth programs, the ratio of coaches to kids is 1:12.
