BC Summer Games Info
The BC Summer Games is happening July 2026 in Kelowna, BC.
Sign up to our mailing list and/or Sign up to attend our Try-It Event at Canfor Pool in Prince George.
We are actively recruiting youths born 2010-2013 to join our Team. No paddling experience is required and no equipment purchase is required.
We will be building a team of Level 1 and Level 2 Paddlers.
- Level 1 Paddlers are those that have never paddled before or may have paddled but have never competed in paddling in the BC Summer Games (or at a higher technical competition in paddling).
- Level 2 Paddlers have competed in paddling in the BC Summer Games or have competed at another paddling competition (and based on scores etc etc you may be considered a Level 2 Paddler).
There are multiple sports (disciplines) that paddlers can race in:
- Stand Up Paddle Board (Races) – Singles
- Canoe (Races) – Singles, Doubles, 4-Person
- Kayak (Races) – Singles, Doubles, possibly 4-Person
- Flatwater Slalom (Technical Races) – Singles
- Canoe (Kayak) Polo (Tournament) – Team. Paddlers try to get the ball into the basket (think basket ball but in a boat, on the water)
Paddlers will start training primarily in June with the most amount of training happening in July. But note that our program is not high intensity training: it is a fun, skill building, experience acquiring, team playing, get outside, confidence inspiring activity.
