Community

Many of our community paddling programs are free to members with free access to club equipment. Register for CCE Paddling Club membership HERE.

Recreational Flatwater Paddles

Free meet-up adult-oriented group that paddles on Cultus Lake, Hope Slough, Chilliwack Lake and many other local lakes and slow moving waterways. A great way to connect with like-minded paddlers in a beautiful and fun setting. Families are welcome but youth must be accompanied by an adult. These paddles are led by volunteers and you are responsible for your own skills and safety on the water: you must be able to paddle in a straight line and exit your boat safely. The group meets each Wednesday to paddle on Cultus Lake and usually paddles elsewhere in the Fraser Valley on the Saturday mornings.

Participants who are new at paddling, and are not comfortable with the skills described above, are encouraged to register for one of our Lake Kayak Intro/refresher lessons or courses.

Community Whitewater Kayaking

Instructor-led river runs down the Chilliwack River!

These sessions are intended to encourage paddlers to get out and enjoy our amazing whitewater in a fun and supportive environment. Participants must be club members and register for the session. All participants must be comfortable paddling class II+ water and be able to self-rescue.

Note*: Community Whitewater Nights are not lessons. An instructor will assist participants with lines and leading the team down the river. Register for lessons here

Please note that we do not have any whitewater meet-ups scheduled yet for 2023. Please contact us at ccekayak@gmail.com if you are interested in whitewater kayaking meet up groups.

Youth Kayak Club

An instructor-led youth kayak group intended for youth who have already completed a set of beginner lessons or a summer camp. Registration & membership required. Target age range 8-14 years. Please note our youth kayak club is not being offered at this time. If your child is interested in kayaking please consider registering them in one of our lessons sets.

Pool Sessions

Pool sessions are arguably the best way for a new paddler to master a roll in their kayak. With all boats and equipment provided, these instructor-facilitated sessions provide an optimal learning environment for one of kayaking’s most difficult and frustrating skills. See Instruction — CCE Paddling Club (ccekayak.com) to learn more about 2024 pool lessons and members sessions. Please contact us at ccekayak@gmail.com with any questions.
