To continue the activities of the ICF Wildwater Canoeing Development Program, the ICF would like to open applications for the upcoming Global Development Camp that will occur during the following 2026 Wildwater Canoeing World Championships with the support of the Host Organizing Committee:

2026 ICF WILDWATER CANOEING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

• The Camp will run from 15-24 May 2026 (inclusive) - 10 days
• Local transportation, meals and accommodation will all be provided free of charge for the whole duration of the Camp. However, travel from the home country to Banja Luka (plane, train, car, etc) will not be covered.
• Application link is accessible via the National Federations
• Application deadline: 8 March 2026 at 23:59 CET.
  
  The aim of this camp is to support the participation of young and talented athletes who  come from Wildwater Canoeing and/or Whitewater canoeing emerging nations.
  There are only a limited number of places available on the Development Camp, so
  priority will be given to applications that meet the following criteria (however, we
  encourage applications from those who do not meet all these criteria, as they may still
  be considered):
• A maximum of two athletes per country. If two athletes are from a single country, one should be female and one male
• Athletes should be a minimum of 15 years of age
• Athletes aged under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult who will be  required to supervise the athlete(s)
• Athletes should be normally resident in the country they represent and willing to help develop Wildwater canoeing in that country in the future.
