The Bantam program is designed for participants aged 9 – 15 who want to learn how to paddle in sprint boats or improve their skills. The summer bantam program is an 8-week long session and it will run out of the Glen Rouge Campground. Participants will cycle between three stations with their coaches; on-water, running and body-weights, and active games. These stations are completed once before lunch and again after. There are different themes each week that will be incorporated into their activities, and on Fridays, the Bantam program joins up with our Summer Day Camp to have a “Fun Friday.”

PRCC also offers bantam programs in the spring and fall, where participants meet twice a week with their coaches to have a quick body-weights workout and a paddle on the river. In the winter, participants get to work with our head coach in the Shed (a local gym) twice a week and run in the rouge on Saturday mornings.
