Dave, Chris and Mel were selected for the NSW regional squad after a clean sweep of gold medals at the state championships earlier in the year.
Jann has the responsibility of boat official over the five-day regatta.
The NSW regional team is comprised of paddlers from Grafton in the north to Moruya in the far south of the state.
It's a huge honour for the Camden Haven paddlers to be selected, Mel Hazelgrove said.
“We'll be competing in 500m races and 200m sprints in Opens, Mixed and Women's races as well as the relay,” Hazelgrove said.
“Most racing is in the 20s standard boat, like the one our club mostly trains in on the Camden Haven River but we'll also be competing in the smaller 10s boats.
“The state vs state race day is Saturday April 22.”
