For those of you who didn’t make it, or those of you that want to try everything on whitewater, here’s your chance: The Carleton University Kayak Club will be holding our 3rd Annual White Water Weekend on September 24, 25, and 26th weekend this year. This weekend is always a blast and fun for all skill levels of paddlers.

Why?

“The main goal of the club is to provide affordable and accessible kayaking to students of Carleton University.”

Where?

Camping Friday and Saturday night at River Run and paddling Saturday and Sunday on the Ottawa River near Beachburg, Ontario.

When?

As a club we will be heading up to the river during the evening on Friday, September 24th, and paddling Saturday and Sunday. We will be returning to the University Sunday evening. Everyone will meet in parking lot 5 (behind the field house and right off Bronson Ave) at 5pm sharp! We will then drive everyone and their boats up to the river campsite and set up our tents before dark.

Who?

Any Carleton Student or other Ontario University are welcome to come whether you’re an advance paddler or a beginner wanting to learn how to paddle. We will be offering beginner lessons from a professional and qualified instructor. The prices for the lessons are $100 for a two day lesson (Sat. + Sun.)

What to bring?

Everyone must bring their own camping supplies and necessary clothing to keep themselves warm throughout the nights. Please contact the Outdoors Club to rent camping supplies such as tent and sleeping bags.

A Saturday night dinner will be provided which includes hamburgers and pop. We recommend that for lunches everyone just bring some snacks for on the river. Breakfast can be eaten at the local diner which serves a great breakfast for under $10. You are also more than welcome to bring your own food.

Lastly, equipment will be provided to anyone who needs it (CU student only), but is in short supply so it will be on a first come first serve basis. Just let us know on the registration form. Also, if you own any kind of wet suit, dry top, or dry suit please bring them for yourself as you will need it.

How to get there?

Every year we car pool up to the river.  Its much cheaper and easier to organize then a bus so please let us know if you are able to drive up to the river.  The club will subsidize your gas up to $30 per car.  If you don’t have a car no worries! The club will match you with a friend who does

What’s the Cost?

The cost of this event would be $20 per person (includes transportation + supper) + camping fees.  For people taking lessons the price would be $120 per person (club gear, lessons, transportation, and saturday night supper ) + camping fees.

Camping fees are $16.50 + tax a night on top of the lesson and event fees.

For someone taking a kayaking lesson the total cost of the event is $159 + bring your own food, snacks and beverages.
