Description:
The Kayak School program is a great introduction to the popular world of whitewater kayaking in a friendly and controlled environment (ages 14-17).
For the first 3 days, the students base-camp at a rapid on or near the Ottawa River where they learn how to kayak. The basics of whitewater kayaking are taught through a series of games and lessons aimed at making learning fun. The skills include: directional strokes, re-righting (Eskimo Roll), rescue, emergency procedures & boat safety.
After the group has completed their skills training, we head down river to take advantage of 4 days and 50 km of practice water. Most of the narrow, deep-channelled rapids of the river are runnable & those that aren't allow us to learn the fine art of portaging a kayak. The group is supported by a large whitewater raft that carries the gear and food as they make their way down the river. Activities to choose from include: whitewater games, wildlife viewing & hikes, natural crafts, surfing waves, rescue workshops, beachside sauna, and much more.
Shuttle services from Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal are included in all our youth programs.
