Peterborough Canoe &
Kayak Club
Are you ready to hit the starting line in the exciting world of SPRINT canoe/kayak?
This isn't 'cottage' paddling!
Sprint paddling is a fun, full-body workout that challenges (and improves) balance, coordination and overall fitness.
Peterborough Canoe and Kayak Club (PCKC) offers day and evening programs for individual and crew paddling in racing-style canoes and kayaks. Our Coaches are paddlers and competitors, themselves, and they find exciting ways to coach our athletes (young, and not-so-young) to be ready for the starting line!
