Overnight Kayak Camp – July

Kayak Camp is designed to introduce and enhance individual knowledge of kayak strokes, rescues, and navigation, and to foster competent camping skills.
Campers will undoubtedly develop a deeper respect for the natural environment they play in while also establishing new friendships, some of which may last a lifetime.  This camp is fun, educational, interesting and at times, moderately challenging, as campers learn to be more proficient paddlers.

The first two nights of camp are spent at beautiful oceanfront Ruckle Provincial Park while the days are based out of our location on Cusheon Lake.
Here we teach fundamental and advanced kayak skills, in order to ensure the group is well prepared for their upcoming 5 day expedition.
Campers will enjoy some free time on this lovely freshwater lake, for swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, canoeing and playing around in various other self propelled watercraft.

Depending on weather and the group’s paddling stamina, each day of the expedition we will set up camp at a new location which may include Sansum Narrows, Wallace and Portland Islands, Dionisio on Galiano and Pirates Cove on Decourcy.
The scenery in this area of the Gulf Islands is spectacular and the marine environment rich with wildlife, seabirds and intertidal species.

This 7 day program can be combined with a Surf Camp for a two week Kayak & Surf Program

Please note:
Should a child be required to leave camp for behavioral reasons, drug & alcohol use, or because they are homesick, there are no refunds. Parents will need to pay for transportation out of program. We have a no smoking/drinking policy at camp, plus no mobile devices.
