• Government Approved PFD (if you have one)

• Change of clothes & plastic bag to put wet clothes in
• Bathing suit & towel
• Running shoes & water shoes (watershoes of some sort are necessary as we have a rocky shoreline)
• Hat, spray on sunscreen & insect repellent

Appropriate Watershoes: These may include crocs, watershoes, waterproof sandals such as keens or any other shoe that can be worn in water. Flip-flops are not a viable option.

Protocol:

• Guardians will check-in with the coach at the long white tent in the main club area. Click HERE to see an image of the meeting spot.
• Due to the young age of the participants, guardians are asked to stay on site (but not participate)

Water Safety:

• No participant will be turned away due to swim ability as ALL participants, regardless of swim ability, are required to wear a Government of Canada Approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) while on or near the water.

Coach to Participant ratio

• 1:5 Ratio allows for close supervision of participants

The program is designed for children new to paddlers so we will be starting at the basics - no prior experience required.

We do ask that your child be comfortable in/on the water as there is a good chance they may jump in. Participants will always have their lifejacket on (no exceptions).

Credit Card Policy

• ORCC offers a variety of payment methods such as e-transfer, credit card, and PayPal.   However, credit card/PayPal 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 PayPal to ensure you also pay the credit card/PayPal convenience fee to help offset the costs to the club. No convenience fee is charged for electronic transfers to treasurer@orcc.ca
