The Cambridge University Canoe Club is a vibrant and inclusive community for all individuals interested in canoeing and kayaking. With over 100 members, the club caters to individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to experts. Whether you are new to Cambridge or have been a student or staff member for years, the club welcomes everyone with open arms.
The club primarily operates by running weekly group sessions on the River Cam during the academic terms of the University of Cambridge. These sessions provide members with the opportunity to improve their skills, learn new techniques, and enjoy the scenic beauty of the river. In addition to paddling on the River Cam, the club also organises trips to Wales and other destinations for white water adventures.
For those interested in competitive canoeing and kayaking, the club represents the University in several disciplines, including canoe polo, freestyle, and white water racing. Members have the opportunity to participate in competitions, showcase their skills, and compete against other universities and clubs.
To stay informed about the club's activities, interested individuals are encouraged to join the mailing list. Regular emails are sent out at the beginning of each university term, providing updates on upcoming events, sessions, and news. The club's sheds, where most of the paddling activities take place, are conveniently located just a 5-minute cycle from central Cambridge. Directions to the sheds can be found on the club's website.
The Cambridge University Canoe Club also welcomes support in various forms. If you would like to contribute in any way, whether through donations or sponsorship, the club greatly appreciates your help. To make a donation or inquire about sponsorship opportunities, please contact the committee. More information about the club's current fundraising priority, which is the development of sheds and storage, will soon be available on the club's website.
