• Slalom races
• Downriver race
• Freestyle throwdown
• Games
• Goody bags with resources for young paddlers
• Pizza party, prizes, raffle, and more!

This is the best youth paddling event in the world, and your camp can be a part of it.See more information, including a schedule, at our event webpageor:

The Camp Cup is endorsed by the many sponsoring camps, Alzar School, NOC, Endless River Adventures, American Canoe Association, and World Kayak.This collaborative effort is designed to help kids become lifelong paddlers, providing them with the skills and resources to keep paddling when camp ends for the summer.We still need camps to help sponsor the event, soplease consider donating.
