Kayak Kids - Lake Chaparral

Alberta Sprint Racing Canoe Association’s Kayak Kids Program is the best way to introduce your child to various paddling disciplines. Children connect with nature while building their confidence on the water in a fun environment. 

Our week-long programs for kids aged 7-12 offers full day summer camps filled with activities both on and off the water, introducing campers to basic paddling skills, techniques and safety in recreational kayaks, canoes, and mini surfskis. Safety is our main priority, we provide ASRCA endorsed coaches Certified in First Aid and CPR. PFDs will be provided and must be worn at all times.

Participants must demonstrate proficient swim level to ensure adequate water safety. If the participant poses a risk participating in this program, they may be asked to leave. 

We look forward to seeing you at camp!
