Grades 6 - 12
School Groups
At Leduc Boat Club (LBC), we are growing our water sports programs to introduce students to a variety of boating for students from grades 6 -12.
LBC recommends the two-person canoe, recreational solo kayaks, and the 20 paddler dragon boat as a starting point. Depending on group size, age and schedule, we can offer instruction in SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) and rowing.
Younger paddlers can be accommodated by special request and with extra support from the school.
Contact us for more information.
