Paddle Canada–trained coaches on the water

All sessions are led by Paddle Canada Certified instructors who teach SUP techniques and water-safety fundamentals throughout each morning.

SMALL GROUPS

Focused attention with a 6:1 ratio

Guides maintain a 6:1 instructor-to-child ratio so campers receive hands-on attention and tailored progression through skills and drills.

LAND + WATER

Dryland theory and playful on‑water learning

Mornings mix dryland safety and theory with exploratory learning on land and in the water—drills, games and group paddling make skill-building active and social.

What the day feels like

What a week on the water feels like

Camp days run as focused morning sessions where certified instructors lead short, progressive lessons: dryland briefings and water-safety training followed by on-water technique work, games and group paddling. With two simultaneous age-specific groups (7–9 and 10–12) and small class sizes, the pace is steady, supervised and geared toward skill-building and confidence.
