MCC PaddleALL 2013 Summer Program
Program Description:
EVERY BOAT, EVERY BODY!
PaddleALL is a project introduced by Canoe/Kayak Canada to the International stage. It is a program aimed at promoting participation in the sport of Canoe/Kayak for individuals with disabilities.
Recreational and sprint canoes and kayaks, outriggers and dragon boats are used to introduce paddlers with intellectual and/or physical disabilities to the sport of canoe/kayak. The program includes a safety orientation, technical instruction, and instruction by an experienced coach.
