Adult Canoe Kayak & General Memberships

Adult Canoe Kayak (Masters)

Designed around the Active for Life stage of CKC's Long Term Athlete Development plan with a focus on fitness, fun, and well-being, this program focuses on skills development based on specific individual goals. Open to beginners and experienced paddlers alike, the Masters program offers competitive and recreational opportunities in canoe/kayak singles and crew boats. Participants can take part in local, divisional, and national competitions, which can be registered for separately (participation in regattas is not a requirement, but is a great way to work with a team and challenge yourself!)


The CPCC adult program comes with a very friendly and social environment. It is a great way to meet new people, make new friends, and challenge yourself at learning new and exciting skills. All of this while also providing the opportunity to experience the beautiful Mississippi River in the heart of our town. Whether you're taking part in the intensity of practice, or going at your own pace, join us on the river and take advantage of our water and facilities!

 

Dates: May 17th - August 28th, 2022

General Membership

General Membership is a fairly new initiative at the Carleton Place Canoe Club that began in 2019. The intent is to get more of our community out on the water to experience the waterway we are so lucky to have running through the heart of our town. Whether you are an ex-paddler looking to get back out on the water, or a beginner recreational user wanting to go at your own pace, this basic membership provides flexibility in the use of our club equipment and facilities.


General members will be able to access the club facilities and skill-appropriate club equipment during designated member hours (outlined below). It is important to note that there will be no programming, coaching, or instruction during these hours. Members will simply be able to sign out equipment approved by our dock supervisor, and use the equipment within the designated areas. 

  

A ‘General Member’ of the Carleton Place Canoe Club can be defined as any individual registered in a U12 or older full summer season program with the club. This includes:


  • Sprint programs; U12, U14, U16+, and Adult Canoe Kayak
  • General Membership Registrants
  • Lifetime Members


Outside of scheduled program structured practices, basic members can access the Carleton Place Canoe Club equipment and docks during our ‘open membership hours’, which are as follows for the 2022 season:


  • Wednesday from 5:00pm – 8:00pm
  • Friday from 5:00pm – 8:00pm
  • Saturday from 12:00pm – 5:00pm, and
  • Sunday from 9:00am – 3:00pm


Age Restrictions

  • The minimum age for General Member registration is U14 (born 2009 or earlier)
  • Members U14 and U12 (born 2008-2011) are only permitted to paddle with direct adult supervision, however U14 (born 2008-2009) participants can complete a skills assessment to gain permission to paddle without a parent/guardian on the water (contact info@cpcanoeclub.com to set up a skills assessment)
  • Skills assessment will include carrying and loading boat into the water, demonstrating tip-turn-tow with proper boat emptying procedures, paddling to 500m docks and back without tipping, and unloading their boat from the water, all without assistance
  • If a U14 participant has passed the skills assessment, a parent/guardian still needs to be on the shoreline to supervise their paddler


Supervisor Rules

For participants U12 and U14, the supervising adult must also be in a program or be registered as a General Member (unless skills assessment has been passed). The supervising adult must meet all the following requirements:

  • Be the parent/guardian of the participant being supervised, or be a designated supervisor by the parent/guardian of the participant being supervised (this must be submitted to the CPCC office in writing via info@cpcanoeclub.com)
  • Be over 18 years of age
  • Be on the water with the participant being supervised at all times (unless skills assessment has been passed)
  • May not be responsible to supervise more than 2 participants at a time


Sign-In Rules

Due to limitations in gathering sizes, all attendance to basic member hours must be booked online using our Sign-Up Genius account (accessed through www.cpcanoeclub.com). Arrival time bookings will be limited to 12 for the first half of basic member hours, and 12 for the second half. Booking is to monitor arrival times only, not departure times. Completion of daily screening forms and sign-in are REQUIRED to be permitted to access the site each day.
