Get started with fall kayaking lessons

The Fall Season is almost here and it is a great time for paddling! The CCE Paddling Club is offering Learn to Kayak Lessons (Levels 1 to 2) at Cultus Lake from the beginning of September to the end of October. Kids will play games, learn kayaking skills and water safety and have a blast!

The CCE will also offer Slalom programs for those youth that have passed level 2. The Slalom program consists of 1 or 2 flatwater sessions per week and a river session. 

The target age for our lessons is 8-17. Participants must be comfortable putting their head underwater and swimming in deep water while wearing a PFD. Participants should have a wetsuit. All other equipment is provided.

LESSON OPTIONS

Choose from Slalom or Flatwater Kayaking programs. Please note that the slalom program is for those participants who have passed level 2 and are interested in learning the Olympic sport of Canoe Slalom. It is not necessary for youth to be competitive to join this program, although fun races are part of the slalom training!

LESSON CURRICULUM 

Our nine step levelled program, originally developed by our national sport body, Canoe Kayak Canada, is designed to ensure that water safety awareness, paddling skills, and confidence in every learner is achieved before advancing to the next level. Levels one, two and three, the foundation of the program, are taught exclusively on flat water before advancing to moving water in level four.
