Youth Racing Program

The 2025 Youth Racing Program is intended for young participants aged 9 – 18 years old who are excited at the potential of excelling at a new sport or simply keen on continued development in Canoe/Kayak throughout 2025 and beyond.

Participants are required to bring their own personal floatation device (PFD), refillable water bottle, change of clothes, running shoes, towel and sunscreen.

This is an exceptional program that will build lifelong skills while enhancing the development of every athlete.

Program Fees:

Development U10/U12/U14 - $550, includes Annual Basic Membership Fee

High Performance U14/U18 - $650, includes Annual Basic Membership Fee

Regatta Entry fees extra - see coaches + Parents Handbook for additional information

NEW for 2025!

This year we are also encouraging ALL of our athletes to join the Collingwood Run Club for Tuesday and Saturday group practices. This has been worked into our practice schedule. This fee is not included in registration fees outlined above.
