Welcome!
The Carleton Place Canoe Club is nestled on the shores of the Mississippi River in the heart of Carleton Place. Surrounded by parks, the local beach, natural walking paths and just steps from the Carleton Place High School, the canoe club is a perfect environment for beginner paddlers and Olympic hopefuls alike to enjoy the natural settings while learning to compete and get in great physical shape. Sprint canoe/kayak is an Olympic sport, but also offers plenty of recreation activity if you enjoy being outdoors and on the water! Joining the CPCC is like joining a family – a family of friends that you will have for a lifetime.

"We began our journey at CPCC with their summer day camp and have never looked back! We absolutely adore this club and its programs. Our daughter is thriving, and we are so grateful for the entire CPCC team. It's pretty awesome to be a part of the oldest canoe club in the country!"
