Skills Clinics

Northern Ontario North Channel Kayak Trip

Sea Kayak Skills Clinic

Join your kayak guide Ally Lyske for a 3 hour skills clinic and learn everything you’ll need to have a fantastic experience on your North Channel Kayak trip.  We’ve created this awesome clinic to suit both beginner and intermediate paddlers!  If you are already an advanced kayaker, please just show your wet exit to your guide on the first day of the trip.  No prob!

The clinic will cover the basics, including parts of the kayak and paddle, paddle signals, strokes for turning, stopping, moving sideways and an efficient stroke to conserve energy for a full day of paddling.  We’ll also cover getting into & out of the boat, what to do if you tip over, how to handle yourself in windy conditions and effective use of the kayak rudder.  For more intermediate paddlers you’ll get coaching to master your paddle strokes and get to practice a kayak rescue.

Arrive by 1pm the first day of your trip for your clinic from 2-5pm.  Take in a hot sauna, cool off and have some chill time before a delicious dinner cooked by our lovely base camp hosts!!!

Cost: $75
