Welcome to the team!

The Crew program will get you started with our club and our sport. No experience necessary, just a willingness to try your best and have fun! We’ll focus on the fundamentals that will get you into racing boats as quickly as possible, with emphasis on the larger crew boats: K4, C4, and C15.

Racing opportunities will be available in the summer. We very much encourage participation for these regattas, it’s a great way to be part of our team and to get the payoff for all your hard work, but the program is flexible on commitment to competitions.

Not sure if this is for you? Come down to our free intro session and you can see what it’s all about before you sign up.

Crew Program

Thursday Spaghetti Nights

As a Crew Intro member, you’re invited to join in this Burloak Canoe Club tradition. Thursday nights in the summer are a time for everyone in the club to come down and paddle C15 together, with spaghetti when we get off the water. This is a great way to get in the boat with some experienced paddlers and accelerate your skills, as well as meet everyone in our team!

Thursday starting 6:00pm July & August, specific dates TBA. There is a small charge for spaghetti dinner.

Competitions

All of our racing will be done at local regattas in the summer. These are the planned competitions for Crew Intro, however others may be available as well depending on crew plans for the season.

• July 19, Mississauga Canoe Club Regatta (Mississauga)

• August 16, Ontario Championship (Welland)

Regattas typically involved many races for different groups over the course of the day. You won’t need to be there for the whole time, just when you’re races are happening. Specific race schedules for each regatta will be announced closer to the competition date.
