Kelowna Outrigger

THE KELOWNA OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUB

The sun is shining, the warmer weather is returning and the days are getting longer!  Starting April 1st we will be back on the water regularly. Details of the exact schedule and fee structure are being worked out as you read this and we’ll update this page as soon as the details are determined.

Our home base is Rotary Park. Anyone is welcome to come down and check out what outrigger is all about. Some of us will be down there Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as Sunday mornings for now.

Feel free to drop by!

Click on the Contact Us tab above if you have any questions.

Hey folks!

As the weather is cooling off and the sun is setting very quick after work, many of us have moved to weekend paddling.

Keep your eyes open for emails and news on here about group paddling over the cold months if you’re interested in staying on the water to keep up some of your paddling fitness. 

Saturday, October 29th, 2011 – 10:30am (on water by 11am)
