Welcome to the 2022 Paddling Season! We have some of your favourite programs back this year, as well as some new options for our our more experienced paddlers. Our goal, as always, is to ensure our Kelowna Community has opportunities to get out on the water, as well as develop skills that make paddling a life-long recreational activity.
2022 Member benefits include access to equipment and introductory classes (at no additional charge), along with the opportunity to attend clinics, work shops and advanced programs. If you love paddling and you plan to paddle twice or more a week, then a Membership is the way to go.
If you’re new to paddling and not sure yet if you can make this a regular habit, you can sign up for any of our introductory classes for a small fee, which includes equipment and PFD’s (Personal Flotation Device). We also have monthly programs for beginner to intermediate paddlers looking for a weekly social activity.
KPC Staff are working together with the Outrigger Team Boat Committee to have all of last season’s favourite Big Boat Classes, as well as add a range of options for our more seasoned paddlers to both train and develop their technique. Our vision is to have an Outrigger Team Boat Program that has a large feeder system that also provides opportunities for paddlers to get into racing or to train for fitness, if they choose, with mentorship and coaching from more experienced paddlers as well as experts from the paddling community.
The 3 areas of focus for this year will be on:
- Growing our Recreational/ Introductory program participation.
- Creating a Racing Program for Development Paddlers (Level 2+).
- Having a Structured Program for Performance Paddlers (Level 3+).
