Development Program

Spring/Summer

Program Overview

The Development program is a fun introduction to spring training for canoe/kayak. The development program is targeted towards paddlers who will be U9, U10, or U12 in summer 2025. Athletes work on the technical, and physical skills necessary for success in our sport!

Program Requirements

The program is meant for paddlers who have their balance in 'tippy boats,' are comfortable paddling up the lake, and have the ability and interest to paddle for up to 75 minutes at a time. Paddlers selecting this option should have completed either U8, U9, U10, or U12 programs last summer.

Older or more advanced paddlers within the above age groups may prefer the Prep program, which includes more sessions per week, more weeks of training, and a more advanced focus. You can speak to coach Rob about the various options available. 

If you are new to the sport, it is reccomended to speak to the coaches about trying before registering. The water is still quite cold in May, and it can be challenging (but not impossible) to learn balance this time of year!

Program Start Date

From May 19th - June 27th development sessions will take place Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (the goal is to pick three) from 4:00 - 5:15.

From July 2nd - August 22nd, paddlers will have between 10-12 sessions per week as part of the summer program. 

Program Cost

The cost of the Spring/Summer development package is $1150.

At checkout you have the option to pay the entire cost, or pay bi-weekly with automatic credit card withdrawals. 

When registering multiple children in spring/summer packages, as with the summer program, you will receive 50% off your second, and third registrations.
