New to canoeing or looking to build a strong foundation of paddling skills? Learn to paddle with safety and confidence with out Learn to Paddle Program.

The basic Learn to paddle course is a full day course on Saturday April 9th from 8:30am till 4:30pm. This is an RCABC Basic Tandem Lakewater canoe course. The Cost for our basic course is only $75 per person and includes a year membership with TRIPS.

We strongly recommend you also attend our Learn to Paddle Rescue Pool session on Thursday April 7th from 6:30- 8:00pm at the YMCA Pool. This session costs $10 to help cover our pool rental costs and is well worth it!

We will also hold a full day Introduction to Moving Water Clinic on Sunday April 8th from 9:00am till 3:00pm also at Pioneer Park. The cosy of this program is an additional $20 for TRIPS members. You will learn the very basics of paddling in current, river hazards, and fun maneuvers like eddy turns and ferries.
