Small Waves Strong Minds is the ultimate youth summer paddling program in the heart of Toronto. Kids will be introduced to a variety of paddling disciplines such as kayaks, outrigger canoes, stand up paddle boards (SUP) and dragon boat, providing new enriching experiences for developing confidence, and independence. Paddlers will also be introduced to science, technology, engineering, math and its relationship with water and paddling in the STEM portion of the camp. Our program is built with the guidance of the Canoe and Kayak Canada LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development) plan to ensure our kids focus on developing the proper framework for a life long journey in the sport. The program demonstrates a balance of technical instruction (we aim to provide a coach to participant ratio of 1:6) along with fun, play-based learning.
