Sackawa is excited that our Year Round Program for Sprint is OPEN!!
 

The year round training is targeted at developing Sackawa athletes into both more competitive paddlers and valuable members of their communities. On top of engaging and challenging athletic training, athletes in all of the groups participate in community initiatives, fundraising opportunities, and social events both within Sackawa and the broader ADCKC community. 

 

Typically we will paddle everyday until the end of October, however then paddling activity becomes weather dependent and typically stops entirely late-November. We then transition to our winter training schedule where we split days with activities like weight training, running, indoor cardio, games, swimming, gymnastics, and much more. We then return to paddling in April when the weather allows for safe paddling sessions.
