SkillS Training & Education

Nanaimo Paddlers is pleased to announce that spring training is a go for 2021! We have organized over 25 members-only clinics, provided by our instructional partners at some great club-only rates. A big thank you to our fantastic partners! 

Please note: 
  • All training clinics adhere to the club's COVID Training Policy, as approved by the Nanaimo Paddlers Board of Directors on February 8, 2021. Members attending clinics must adhere to the Additional Requirements for Training Program Participants included in the policy. Please review the policy and participant requirements before registering for a clinic. 
  • To register for a clinic, click the clinic link to visit the Meetup posting for that event, where you will find more details (clinic description, location, required gear, etc.). To register, sign up to attend the event on Meetup, then follow the instructions to prepay via Paypal or credit card. Prepayment via Meetup is required to reserve your spot. We cannot accept e-transfers or cheques at this time, and we cannot facilitate registration outside of the Meetup platform. 
  • To register for a wait list if a clinic is full, please post "Add me to the wait list" in the comments for that clinic. Meetup does not maintain a regular wait list for paid events, so we will monitor the comments and contact members in the order they have posted if a space becomes available. 
  • There are no refunds for prepaid clinics, unless a clinic is cancelled by the club or by the provider. If you are unwell in the days leading up to your clinic, please contact skills@nanaimopaddlers.org to make alternate arrangements. 
  • Please be considerate of other members when registering for clinics; there are a limited number of spots, and we want to ensure that all members can enjoy these training opportunities.
