Committed to promoting a safe and fun environment for our community to paddle and explore our wonderful outdoors!

Welcome! We are a community non-profit sports club based in the Bow Valley, Alberta, Canada. 

We aim to provide our community with access to safe learning and participation in the sport of river kayaking. We believe recreation and learning in the outdoors is important, and endeavor to make this accessible to everyone in our community. 

As well as a place for all paddlers to meet our local community of enthusiasts,  we pride ourselves on being able to offer professionally instructed training courses, guided river trips, and accessible education on how to enjoy our sport and waterways safely. We offer something for every ability and all ages.

The Bow Valley Kayak Club was formed in the Fall of 2004. The objectives of the club are:

• To promote the sport of kayaking to all residents of the Bow Valley.

• To encourage youth participation in the sport.

• To offer training in safe and fun paddling.

• To offer high-quality paddle sport events of all types to BVKC members and the general public which will introduce many new paddlers to the sport each year.
