Description:
PaddleFoot offers one of the premiere Canoe Tripping Leadership programs in Ontario. Many graduates use this course as a stepping stone to employment in guiding, outdoor education and the camping industry.
The WLP (Wilderness Leadership Program) is a 46-day leadership program for youth ages 17-21. This program is a comprehensive training in outdoor leadership. Taking part in the WLP Program gives participants a strong practical background in areas of: group dynamics, problem solving, safe program planning, emergency techniques, campsite management, trip planning and a care & knowledge of equipment.
Participants work with guides to learn and practice these skills. This holistic tripping experience combines the technical skills of guiding with the less tangible aspects of ledership development.
Element 1: Participants receive internationally recognised certification in Swiftwater Rescue, whitewater canoeing and Wilderness First Aid.
Element 2: Participants go on an 35-day extended expedition on a remote Northern River
Element 3: The summer is concluded by our Solo Trip. This program includes preparation, briefing sessions and travel by canoe to our sites. The solo itself is 48 hours in length. Guides silently check in with soloists to ensure that all is going smoothly, and solos are planned putting safety first.
Shuttle services from Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal are included in all our youth programs.
Please call or email the office for more details on the WLP course as well as other PaddleFoot canoe and kayak adventures.
