Ceyana Canoe Club

Courses

Ceyana offers courses in kayak and canoe for beginners to intermediate paddlers. If you are unsure what course to take, or if you want to request a course for four or more members, contact our Education Chair. Ceyana courses are for members only and are taught by an instructor approved by the club. Courses run in inclement weather unless it is unsafe. Plan to dress for the weather. Courses are cancelled 5-7 days in advance if there is insufficient registration, pool sessions will be cancelled 14 days in advance if there is insufficient registrations-- book early! Registration fees are refunded for courses cancelled by the club. For individuals cancelling their registration more than one week in advance, a refund less an administration fee is provided. Refunds are not issued for cancellations less than a week in advance.


A note to non-members...

Registrants are advised to sign up for club membership well in advance if you interested in a course or trip and are not already a member. As an organization wholly run by volunteers we do not have a full time admin to immediately answer questions or handle website issues. Membership payments paid by credit card are usually confirmed much faster than e-transfers or cheques. Our membership term runs through the calendar year so signing up early ensures you receive all pre-season club updates and early notification of courses and trips.

    This course is ideal for participants

    1. that are planning to take the CKC Level 1 - Kayak Instructors Course or have taken it in the past. 

    2. that want to perfect their kayak rolling 

    3. that are new to kayak rolling 

    This pool based program will introduce you to the progressions for rolling a kayak.  Most of our time will be  engaged in rolling, but each evening we'll learn at least one solo rescue or rescue of another, or just a boat.  You will need to be prepared to be very wet, swim goggles and nose clips are found useful by some students. 

    You are welcome to bring your own WW or short (<4 m) Rec kayak, assuming it has a good foot brace, thigh/knee hooks & back band, float bags and a water tight spray cover that fits you. Your boat and gear needs to be spotlessly clean!  Worst case scenario clean it at the pool... but then you have to clean up the deck too!

    This program runs:

    Saturday April 22 (5:30 PM - 7:00 PM)

    Saturday April 29 (5:30 PM - 7:00 PM)

    Saturday May 6th (5:30 PM - 7:00 PM)

    Please arrive early to allow enough time to get prepared to be on deck and ready to begin class at the scheduled time

    Note: All pool based sessions will be run conditional on the number of participants. A course "go" / "no go" decision will be made 14 days prior to the start date to allow enough time to cancel the pool booking with no penalties.  To assist with our planning we are thus requesting that people register early and thank you for your understanding.  Cancellations, penalties and refunds post the 14 day limit will be handled on a case by case basis and will depend on course waitlist

    Learn some rescue skills to make your river paddling less stressful. We will cover basic canoe rescue skills on flatwater, then take what we've  learned to the river to practice there. Some skills covered will be t-rescues, parallel rescues, clip and tow, and self rescue. This is for those who want to brush up and refresh some of their skills or for those who have never learned them, and can be either tandem or solo paddlers. 

    Be prepared to swim so bringing a change of clothes and having wet suits, or partial dry suits would be good. Participants are encouraged to use their own canoes and gear (paddles, lifejackets, throw-bags, etc) or the club can also supply all the necessary gear. Pack a lunch and snacks as this will be a full day.

    The location may change, but any registrants will be informed of the new location.

    Canoe Kayak Canada (CKC) is the governing body of competitive canoe sport in Canada and provides the National Coaching Certification Program White Water paddling instructor/coach/leader programs.  CKC Kayak Instructor 1 is the entry level, and once trained candidates can teach kayak in pools, ponds and sheltered lake waters.  Like all NCCP programs at each level candidates are trained, are required to teach, coach or lead and to ultimately must complete an evaluation to become fully certified.   Prerequisites for this program are a to be a modestly skilled flat water kayaker (Duffeck stroke?),  and to have been introduced to the kayak rolling progression.  To become full trained for lake instruction candidates must be able to roll a kayak.  Non-rollers maybe be trained for pool and pond instruction.  This course includes a number of required NCCP theory sessions (Ethics, Teaching & Learning, Course Planning, & Risk Management) plus skills review with teaching progressions, leading equipment discussions and practice peer teaching session(s). 

    In 2023 CKC/AWA expect to roll out a river paddling instructional component to this course.  It is expected that it will require an additional day to complete and at least initially may be offered as a stand along clinic for certified Level 1kayak Instructors.

    The course outline is is follows:

    1. Friday 23rd June - MacEwan U classroom session -> 5:30 to 7:30pm (you are welcome to bring your supper and eat during the classroom session)

    2. Friday 23rd June - MacEwan U pool session -> 8:00pm to 10pm

    3. Saturday 24th June - RPPC pond session -> 10:00 AM

    4. Saturday 24th June - MacEwan U classroom session -> 2:30 to 4:30pm 

    5. Saturday 24th June - MacEwan U pool session 5:00pm to 7:00pm (this session will be largely devoted to rolling) 

    6. Sunday 25th June - RPPC Pond -  practice peer teaching  10:00 AM Start

    Kayaks & paddling gear, is available at both the MacEwan pool, and at RPPC.  Candidates may bring their own boats and gear, but they must be clean, and cleaned again on deck prior to each pool session.  Candidates are responsible for their personal swim and paddling gear, and travel between MacEwan U and RPPC (car pooling is encouraged).  The tentative Course fee includes our pool, classroom, equipment, and instructor expenses, and CKC registry fees ($120)  Presently Mark Lund is the scheduled Learning Facilitator.

    Ceyana CC members who volunteer regularly at our Tuesday RPPC sessions, or teach kayaking for the club are eligible to apply for a 50% course subsidy on successful completion of the course.  If you have questions <lundmer@gmail.com>
