Our 2025 Junior Racing Program runs from April 1st to September 28th and is divided into three sessions.
For teens, the focus will be 6-person Outrigger Canoe (OC6) in order to compete for the CORA Cup.
The spring session for teens (athletes born 2009-2012) was the foundation of the competitive season and included 12 weeks of training plus 3 races.
The JRP Performance Academy in July provides a high-performance training experience culminating in the Lotus Iron race in Burnaby.
The fall program for teens from August 28th to September 29th will prepare crews for CORA National Championships on September 27th. Athletes wishing to compete at the National Sprint Trials for the 2026 IVF World Sprint Championships will also be supported through the fall program.
For kids, the focus is on gaining experience on the water and igniting a passion for paddle sports.
The spring kids program included multiple disciplines (SUP, surfski, & outrigger) with an emphasis on personal goals.
For the summer, the kids program is replaced by our regular camp programs. JRP kids are encouraged to register at the highest camp level they are comfortable.
The kids fall program will complement paddler’s experience in the spring and summer with two sessions per week focused on fun and skill development.
The KPC Junior Racing Program is best suited for those looking for an active start in paddling and an emphasis on personal performance. Junior Paddlers will enjoy a variety of on water and dry land activities which will allow them to progress their skills both individually and as part of a team.
