Intro to Moving Water 2026

 

Intro to Moving Water:

Wed May 6 (7-9pm, Burnaby Sports Complex), Sat May 9 (Seymour
River)
This clinic introduces tandem paddlers to entry-level (class 1 – 1+) moving water in a safe and
fun learning environment. It’s ideal for the transition to paddling whitewater, on club day trips
and longer canoe trips on Canada’s many beautiful rivers. It’s also a great way to improve your
paddling skills! We will help you find or rent canoe gear, and a paddling partner if needed.
