10% discount a 2-day river-canoeing course taught by a certified Paddle Canada and/or RCABC instructor in advance of the expedition.
It’s not every day that you can be privy to the behind the scenes of planning and running a smooth wilderness canoe expedition. As a ‘Guest Client’ on this trip, you will have the opportunity to sit in on theory discussion, practice techniques for teaching moving water canoeing and rescue skills, and learn the tips and tricks that guides use on and off the water. In addition, you will be paddling a scenic and historic canoe route, thick with bears, moose, and the stories of miners who sought their fortunes along the riverbanks.
We offer this trip at a reduced price for guest clients, in exchange for your support in the professional development of the guide candidates – offering special opportunities to challenge the guide candidates, providing feedback, and real-life experience.
WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR?
Participants have experience canoeing on intermediate rivers and are confident adventuring in the outdoors. They are familiar with basic canoeing strokes and manouvres, have taken a river paddling course, and are comfortable around/on/in moving water. Participants can expect to build on skills and experience in new and challenging conditions under the leadership of their guides in training and the instructor trainer. Participants should be fit and capable of carrying their canoe and gear over rough terrain.
As this trip is part of a training course, we can also accommodate a few participants with minimal moving water experience, but who have strong lake-canoeing skills – and a keen interest to learn more!
