The UCCC has a long history at the University of Canterbury and is known for its high activity rate. Our goal is to nurture and develop any interest in Canoeing, River Kayaking, Sea Kayaking, Multi-Sport Kayaking, Canoe Polo and any other forms of Canoeing and Kayaking. We offer beginners courses, intermediate courses, water specific safety training and most importantly a way to get in contact with other like-minded and skilled people. The UCCC is a non-profit organisation that is organised by students who volunteer their time for organising the club, running trips, social events and training programmes.

Another important part of the UCCC is education. The UCCC has an emphasis on safe water practice and educating people how to mitigate the effects of their recreational practices on the unique and amazing environment we have in New Zealand. These are two areas where the UCCC definitely practices what it preaches.

The UCCC welcomes anyone and everyone to join!!! This includes not only University of Canterbury students but also all Tertiary Students, Secondary Students, and those already in the Workforce. There is an annual membership fee of $20 and this goes towards the gear maintenance and replacement, administrative costs, social events, Whitewater NZ affiliation* and all the other things that keep this club running.

If there is anything else you would like to know about the University of Canterbury Canoe Club feel free to browse the site with the tabs on the left of the page or contact our Captain, (James Litchwark (Captain)), who will be able to answer your questions.

Well, now all there is to do is join and start taking advantage of all the benefits that the UCCC offer. Be assertive, active and willing and this club will introduce you to an amazing sport that is manageable and challenging for all people.

See you on the water...

*Whitewater NZ, formerly New Zealand Recreational Canoeing Association who’s purpose is, “…to preserve New Zealand's white-water resources and enhance opportunities to enjoy them safely’, is an awesome organization and we encourage everyone to check them out on rivers.org.nz
UCCC offers financial support to the NZRCA, but this does not entail a full individual membership of NZRCA for UCCC members.
