Our weekday evening courses that run from May through to October provide our immediate community with the opportunity to enjoy the completely uncrowded waters of our local river - the Madawaska. Three evenings a week, for a couple of hours each evening, we teach introductory to intermediate paddling skills. With all equipment and instruction provided at minimal cost these courses are immensely popular and accessible to all. Many paddlers come out to enjoy the last hours of sunlight and an evening of fun paddling with friends or family. Some of our evening course members have been paddling with us from our inception in 1998 and continue to come out to refine their own paddling and help teach others.

From the swelling ranks of local paddlers and other co-op members has grown our Junior Leadership Program. The objective of this program is to provide access to instruction, trips and training that will help each individual meet his or her paddling goals. JLP members maintain contact with each other and with us to organise dates and locations for 'development' clinics. Paddler Co-op provides the boats, gear and technical instruction, JLP members help out with various 'community' activities such as assisting instructors on our KidActive! program and providing safety support at the Spring Riverfest.
Some of our JLP members are participating in the Duke of Edinburgh's leadership award program. If you want more details or are interested in joining our JLP please call or email.
