HP participants are responsible for travel costs (ground or air) to/from camps + accommodation + ground transportation at the camp as needed. ASCK will always endeavor to keep costs down while meeting the needs of the group. When extra coaches are needed at camps or competitions for an appropriate coach/athlete ratio, there may be an extra fee to athletes to cover the costs of the extra coach. These cost will be introduced only if necessary.

NOTE: In 2009-2010 CKC requires athletes participating in National and Development Team Camps be members in good standing of their provincial programs. i.e. fees and all trip/camp costs are paid up.

Cheques returned as NSF, will result in notification to the athlete (or family of athlete under 18). A notice shall be sent to the athlete allowing 10 days for payment to be rectified. Failure to comply shall result in suspension from the HP program and notification to CKC based on the reciprocal agreement.

Volunteer Commitments

• Each HP athlete/family is responsible for two casino shifts at both of the AWA and the ASCK casinos. These casinos occur in alternating years approximately 10 months apart. Each athlete must post a $200 cheque dated September 30, 2010, which will be cashed in the event that two casino shifts are not worked.
• Each HP athlete owes 16 ‘service’ hours per year to ASCK. These must be approved by the HP Coach, and may include; mentor coaching in another club, coaching other development athletes, visiting sponsors, attending special events, etc.
• HP athletes are encouraged to participate in a AWA whitewater leadership course or safety certification course each year. Grants are available on a first come/first served basis.
