About Us

Creating paddlers for life : Our vision is that every young person can experience the benefits of a lifetime involvement in paddling.

"A thrill, an adventure, a lifestyle. I started at eleven years old and am addicted. I have traveled to Australia, Colorado, Quebec, and Washington DC all for the sport of kayak and canoe. Join the sport and have a blast!" Cara Marks, Athlete & Coach, Victoria Youth Paddling Club

"Children who are exposed to the outdoors, are more creative, more confident and more likely to be problem solvers than those who do not venture into the outdoors. Kids who get into the outdoors will also be more aware of environmental issues and likely to become stewards of our environment." Brian Henry, Ocean River Sports

"Many kids embrace paddling because, for whatever reason, they do not fit into 'traditional' team sports such as soccer or hockey. Paddling is an extremely fun activity for kids which offers outdoor exercise that is both enjoyable and challenging.” Jaden Langford, Founder Victoria Youth Paddling Club
