Development Program

Fall

Program Overview

September is arguably the best time to paddle in Nova Scotia!

The Development program is a fun introduction to off season training for canoe/kayak. The development program is targeted towards paddlers who will be U10, or U12 in summer 2026. Athletes work on the technical, and physical skills necessary for success in our sport!

Program Requirements

The program is meant for paddlers who have their balance in 'tippy boats,' are comfortable paddling up the lake, and have the ability and interest to paddle for up to 75 minutes at a time. This program is open to paddlers born in 2014, 2015, 2016, or 2017. Paddlers born later than 2017 should check with coaches first about the suitability of this program. 

Older or more advanced paddlers within the above age groups may prefer the Prep program, which includes more sessions per week, more weeks of training, and a more advanced focus. You can speak to coach Rob about the various options available. 

Program Start Date

From September 8th - October 2nd.

The development group runs from Monday - Thursday (4 sessions) from 4:00 - 5:15.

Paddlers are recommended to attend three of the four - or all four!

Program Cost

$120 for the four week program.
