National Paratriathlon Camp
Community. Inclusion. Respect.
You're Invited
Being held at the beautiful CNIB Lake Joseph Centre, a fully accessible camp in the heart of Muskoka; Lake Joe is the premier facility in Canada for paratriathlete training. The lake front camp is equipped with fully accessible cabins and grounds, a dining hall for on-site meals and recreation areas for evening relaxation or entertainment.
We are inviting some of Canada’s top Coaches and leaders in the sport of triathlon to join us to help conduct hands on training sessions ranging from introduction to open water swimming, to techniques to improve your swim speed, as well as bike and run clinics. Advocates and experts in the field of paratriathlon will also be in attendance to lead workshops on what para-athletes need to know to stay healthy on and off the race course, and tips on how to get involved in your local triathlon community.
For those looking to become involved in the paratriathlon community in other ways, there are opportunities to volunteer and learn about becoming a guide for athletes who are blind or partially sighted, or a handler for athletes with mobility impairments.
We would be very grateful to have you join us in helping to make our first camp an experience that will not be forgotten.
