That's a Wrap

We are all done for the season. Thanks to all who participated. We will be up and running again next spring.

Last Week of Group Lessons

We are on our last week of group lessons at Carburn Park. Its been a great fall season with the second warmest September on record. Thanks to Jackie and Michel for being our 2 main instructors this fall, you guys are doing a great job.

Groups Lessons in Fall Swing at Carburn Park

Our high school and group lessons are continuing this fall at beautiful Carburn Park. We have lots of students learning how to paddle a canoe properly and safely for the first time. The weather has been great and Jackie, Michel and I are the instructors lucky enough to be teaching at such a beautiful venue. Thanks again to the members who built the great canoe racks in our compound at Carburn. They are working very well for us.

Summer Camps are a Wrap

We had a blast the last 2 weeks of Camps here at BWCC. Our Explorers camp had a week of paddling in and around Calgary with a camp-out on Wildcat Island just west of Cochrane. They enjoyed fabulous food and good company with a little bit of rain as well. But with rain gear, good tents, tarps and a warm fire, campers had a great time. Our Trippers camp had a blast on the North Sask last week. We also enjoyed good food, company, and really great weather as well. We didn't even need fly's on our tents - the weather was that good. A picture speaks a thousand words, so enjoy the pics.

August Camps

August Canoe Camps are in full swing. Jackie and Bob are doing a great job teaching the campers how to canoe on moving water and have a lot of fun while doing it. The kids are having a blast on river trips and playing "Camoflage." I do have 2 spots left in the Trippers camp next week for ages 14-16. We will be going on the North Saskatchewan River from Saunders to Rocky Mountain House.

July camps done, August here we come!

Our July Prospectors and Trippers camps went well and all the spaces were filled up. Our kids had a blast during the wonderful weather we had. August camps are filling up very fast. I do have some very limited spaces in our Prospectors, Explorers and Trippers camps for August. Email me if you would like to register your child. bwcc.lessons@telus.net
