Great Lakes Tripping Course
Paddle Canada Level II Skills

Take a launch and learn trip with us!
We believe the best way to truly improve your skills is by instructing and practicing in the environment and conditions you'll be using them!  Many people only get a four day course with a single overnight experience for their Level 2 course.  This is where learntokayak.ca is different.  We believe these extra days on trip really round out our students and help them become much better and more experienced paddlers.  This is why more paddlers choose Learntokayak.ca for their Level 2 experience than any other company in Ontario.

What better way is there to learn your Level 2 skills than while paddling on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay?  Phillip Edward Island is located on the north shore of Georgian Bay, just south of Killarney Provincial Park.  For anyone who has paddled here it's an experience they never forget.  The coastline is littered with small islands and with the Cloche Mountain Range in the background it makes the photo opportunities frequent and the paddling exciting.

We depart southward down the Chikanishing River and out onto the north shore of Georgian Bay.  A great thing about Phillip Edward Island is the ability to paddle close to the Island for navigational practice or to head out and around the outer Islands for practice in bigger conditions.  

This is a Level 2 course so participants will be taking it in turn to lead the group under the supervision of your instructors. You'll also, as part of your required skills, be taking a turn in the camp kitchen under the supervision of your highly qualified instructors.  Through the duration of this 5 day trip we will have plenty of time to teach and practice paddling skills, improve our outdoor camping and culinary skills, navigate through this incredible maze of islands and channels, swim in the freshwater and enjoy the rugged wilderness.  Kicking back at the end of an exciting adventure filled day and watching the glorious sunset is, as they say, priceless.

Prerequisites:
Paddle Canada Level 1 Skills or equivalent.  During our 5 day trip we will have time to teach all the skills before asking you to demonstrate them.
