Atom/Day Camp
The Summer Day Camps act as a continuation of the Atom Program with afternoon session in Dragon Boat, Games, Outings, Swimming, etc. This program offers convenient drop off and pick up times for those who wish to register for a Full Day Camp. Our Day Camp start at 8:30am with drop off and runs through the day until 4:30 pick up. Our Atom Program runs from 8:30-12:30 and Atoms have the opportunity to transition into the day camp for the afternoon. Thus providing a fully supervised day for the Atom program. The Morning for both Atoms and Day Camp kids is spent learning how to paddle/water safety and the afternoon is used for games both on site and off site. We schedule field trips throughout the summer such as Birch Cove/Shubie Park/Sportsplex/Sleep over’s. Day Camp have a flexible schedule that allow families to choose from 1 week to 8 weeks for the summer. This program is a great way to introduce young (athletes) to the sport of Canoe Kayak.
Some of the boats used for the Paddling Program are:
C-1 (Canoe for one person) K-1 (Kayak for one person)
C-2 (Canoe for two people) K-2 (Kayak for two people)
C-4 (Canoe for four people) K-4 (Kayak for four people)

A “BUN” is a round bag filled with cork to kneel on while you are in the Canoes.
A “SINGLET” is a jersey that represents our club and must be worn at all regattas.
As part of our program we have a built in swimming lesson for younger athletes up to Level 10.
There is a Life guard and a Swimming Instructor on duty daily throughout the summer program.
