All paddlers are encouraged to participate in the regattas, however, it is recognized that not everyone desires to compete.

Testimonials

What our customers write about us

My husband and I did a private 2-hour kayak lesson this weekend and it was money well spent. We got some great instruction with paddling skills and self-rescue. If you are looking for an amazing thing to do while visiting Edmonton, definitely book one of GERCKC lessons or, if you are experienced, do a rental. You won't be disappointed. We will come back for sure.

Our 8-year old son did the 5 Day CanoeKids Camp Full Day, with kayak in the morning and cooperative games fun in the afternoon and he had an absolutely fabulous time. It was one of his favourite camps ever; he rates it 20 out of 5 stars. The club staff members were great; the coaches were wonderful, very knowledgeable and experienced, and fun. Every evening he was excited about the next day. We signed him up for another camp this summer right away.
