SLCC arranges transportation of boats, but it is the parents responsibility to arrange transportation for their child. For more detailed info upon regattas and a good resource is our parent handbook.

For our day camps, we have canoes and safety motorboats.

For off-season training, it's one hour and a half a day twice a week of training sessions. During the summer, it is a full-day week long commitment for a minimum of four weeks. Each regatta is a full day, or sometimes, a weekend. It is up to the parent and child's discretion how much they would like to race and/or be involved. However, team boat paddlers should recognize their informal commitment that they have made to their paddling partners.
