THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Our first annual KCKC on-line auction is officially done! We want to thank all of our volunteer Elves for all their hard work and hope they enjoy a well deserved break! To give you some perspective on this great feat, the auction was open for 14 days, had 146 registered bidders, over 190 items, had 1,116 bids placed and $9,665 dollars was raised to help us with our youth programs! We can't wait to get those 2 Voyager Canoes or for the auction next year!! #kamloops #kamloopscanoeandkayakclub #thankyoukamloops

Thank you again for your support of the KCKC On-line Auction. We are now into the home stretch of our auction and our Elves are starting to look at the finish line! Final payments need to be made, pickups and deliveries need to be coordinated, and flights back to the North Pole need to be booked so they can get back to work on their other jobs. If you have not yet paid for your auction items please do so by Friday December 12 at 11:59PM. If our records indicate that you have not paid your account in full by that time, your name will be put on the naughty list and we will be contacting the next highest bidder on the auction to offer them the prize. As mentioned our Elves are only available for a limited time and as a not-for-profit we can not afford the overtime.

Kamloops is so generous! Thank you Cherry Creek Ranch, Leading Edge Equine Sports Therapy, Mostly Mental Shuttles, and Anne Carmicheal. Thank you to Our amazing families who are baking cookies and cupcakes, collecting eggs, chopping kindling, making jam, shoveling snow, teaching yoga, and touring Pineview by Mountain Bike. All of these have been added to our online auction.

Thank you again for your participation in the on-line auction. We just wanted to clarify some rumors. This photo of our elves circulating is from last year! This year they are working overtime and drinking coffee far after our event has closed to get you all the gifts that you have purchased. They are developing new systems that will help in the coming years and making sure that all items are communicated and accounted for. If you have not been contacted yet ...they are just not that far down the list yet. Thank you again for your patients! Thank you to many of our supporters! Elizabeth DeVries Ariane Gavelin, Holly Jackson, Nat Anfield,Red Tag Fitness, Stephany Dean,@keira Hockersmith, Katy Michell, Agnes Jackson, Stanislav Marek,Rachael Pollard, Beth Morgan!

Please note that there have been only a handful of busy elves working on this auction and due to Covid Santa will no longer be distributing the prizes.

We are staying positive and truly hoping to run the summer camps as scheduled. The payment requirements and deadlines will be announced... once we are back in our regular operations, hopefully 1 week prior to the first summer camp at least. Should you have any question, please contact us via email: [email protected]. BOOK your spot for Summer Camp here: https://www.kamloopscanoeandkayakclub.ca/summer-camps

The first day on the water was the day on the river and it almost looks like summer time paddling. More days ahead of us with more sun and more kilometers!

The Beginners Development Team program starts on April 14 and registration for kids of age 8 - 13 yo is now open. Check the information and schedules and register for Olympic Flatwater Sprint Paddling fun and lifetime journey: https://www.kamloopscanoeandkayakclub.ca//competitive-spri

Keep paddling during the winter. Way to go.

KCKC is hiring staff for variety of the positions for the upcoming spring and summer. Check the positions here: https://www.kamloopscanoeandkayakclub.ca/

Huge congratulations to our youngest canoer Ty for his great results this winter - boy, you are on fire!!

Quadrathlons are fast and furious! Treadmill runs, spin bikes, rowing and swimming. Aside from also searching for the locker key for 90 minutes and consequently starting the last swimmers at 805, it was a fantastic night. Thanks coach Stan for the idea, the inspiration and the organization! Several of our moms & dads did some or all of the quadrathlon. Yay #healthyhappypaddlingparents #kamloopscanoeandkayakclub #kckc #thankscoachstan #kiddoesntwanttostop #tcc #kamloopsindoors

KCKC 1st indoor quadrathlon is in the books. It was lots of sweat, lots of pain and most importantly lots of fun! Lots of pizza at the end. We can’t wait for the next one!

Getting stronger every day...

We are mastering this pegboard!
