Kiddie Canoe

We are happy to offer coached paddling programs every summer (July-August) to our membership.

If your athlete wants to start paddling before then, consider BCC's Spring Paddle programs that begin in May!

U8–U12 Summer Program

Our U8–U12 program offers weekday coached practices that combine on-water training (small and crew boats), dry-land activities, and fun team-building experiences. Athletes build paddling skills, confidence, and friendships in a positive, supportive environment.

Participants may also have the opportunity to compete in fun inter-club regattas on Lake Banook.

Supervision Requirement:

For the safety of our program participants aged 11 and under, supervision is required when not in a coached swimming or paddling session. Our weekly Activity Camp provides full-day supervised programming, coordinated by our childcare and coaching staff, making it easy for families to enjoy a seamless day at the club.

U14-U16 Paddling

During the summer, U14-U16 athletes programming includes coached practices scheduled throughout each weekday, combining dry-land training with small and crew boat coaching and team-building experiences.

Athletes also have the opportunity to compete in regattas on Lake Banook, including Qualifying Regatta for the CKC Sprint National Championships.

High Performance

For our High Performance athletes (U15+) and is by coach invitation ONLY.

Masters

Boat Storage

Banook Canoe Club offers private boat storage for members. Storage can be added during membership registration. A discount of 50% is given to members registered in a paddling program.

When space is available, Members may store private boats at the Club in spaces designated for Private Boat Storage. If a private boat is stored at Banook, the annual rental period is May 1 to April 30th.

Members can expect to access their private boats during normal operating hours of the Club. There may be certain days during competitions on Lake Banook when a member does not have access to their boat. All efforts will be made to provide advance notice will be provided to Club members of these situations.
