Please note that price for adults is very close to the camp fees and that the rates for students and youth are significantly subsidized by the RCABC. We run this conference at a loss each year to give back to our members and our community. We rely heavily on the volunteer work of our Canoe Festival Committee and amazing Canoe Festival weekend volunteers. This weekend is an exceptional deal at these rates!
Cost includes:
All workshops and sessions, including paddling skills
Use of canoes and equipment - if you can, please bring your own boat and PFD (for yourself and/or to share), so we have enough for all sessions; we will have some boats available for those who do not own/bring a boat

For those who would like to attend the AGM, but cannot attend the Canoe Festival, we provide an option to do this. There must be pre-registration and payment (deadline is April 5th). The cost is $10 (to cover grounds fee and evening snack). We ask that you do not arrive until after dinner, close to 6:00 pm when the meeting begins. We invite you to join for the after meeting snack and activities.
Please register and pay through the registration form, and be sure to select the "AGM only" option both in the form and through PayPal.
