HomeSchoolers Program

Magic of the River

The Homeschoolers program provides kids ages 8 to 14 with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to be self-sufficient paddlers.

Open to all experience levels. Paddling groups will be formed based on age and general skill level.

The goal is to inspire a general love for the sport of paddling with a strong emphasis on and awareness of outdoor and water safety. Participants will partake in various cooperative and nature-based activities in a fun, social and inclusive environment, led and supported by recreation therapists.

Credit Card & Cancellation Policy

Credit Card Policy

  • ORCC offers a variety of payment methods such as e-transfer, credit card, and PayPal. However, credit card / direct bank transfer (e-check) transactions cost the club thousands of dollars every year.  In an effort to keep program pricing reasonable, we ask those participants who wish to pay by credit card or e-check to ensure you also pay the credit card convenience fee to help offset the costs to the club. No convenience fee is charged for electronic transfers to treasurer@orcc.ca

Cancellation Policy

Please be aware of the ORCC Cancellation Policy:

  • Program registration cancellations which are received two weeks prior to the start of the program will receive a full refund less the $15 non-refundable administration fee.
  • No refunds are available within two weeks of the start of the program or once the program has started; only a prorated credit will be issued.
  • In the case of injury or illness, a medical certificate may be required, and refunds will only be offered as camp fee prorated credit to be used for a future ORCC camp or program registration.
