Course Information
Taking your kids into the wilderness for a canoe trip is a fantastic way to spend time outdoors. With a canoe, you are able to haul more gear and kids don’t get as fatigued as when you go hiking or backpacking so it’s a great way to get into the wilderness earlier. Plus, you will learn some great skills that can transfer to backpacking or other outdoor adventures later in life.
After taking this course, you will have the skills to safely plan and take your family on your own canoe excursion on many of the great rivers and areas we have in Canada and Northern Saskatchewan. In addition to canoe skills, we will be teaching safe camping skills, meal planning and preparation, and bushcraft/wilderness survival skills.
This course will be taught on the beautiful Northern Shield, on the Rivers and Lakes of the famous Churchill River System. We will be camping in one location for the duration of the trip and paddling and playing in gentle rapids. There will be some R & R (rest & relaxation) time built into the course to allow time for fishing, reading, games etc. The water is wonderfully warm this time of year, the daylight hours long, and the bugs are at a minimum.
