In a team of 2 or 3 people you and your team will work together to paddle a Canadian-style canoe through a combination of short journeys, games, and challenges. Teams must practice their communication skills and teamwork as they learn to paddle forward, in reverse, and learning to turn in a small circle. During cold weather months, and for groups who may be concerned about the risk of a capsize, we also offer ‘Rafted’ canoeing in which two canoes are connected to create a more stable craft.
Our instructors will begin the session by guiding your group through the different paddling strokes that they will be using on the water, along with any necessary safety points, before leading your group onto the lake to complete tasks chosen based on your group’s ability level and interests. We also have the ability to offer an adapted/wheelchair accessible canoe seat which will enable those with limited mobility to join in on the fun.
