Kayak and Camp | 2 days | 1 Night
A wonderful weekend of camping and paddling. We leave from Hudson’s Point and paddle through Trincomali to camp on historic Chivers Point on Wallace Island. The wildlife around this park is exceptional. We typically have the chance to view otters, mink, seals, eagles, and a spectacular abundance of intertidal life. This camping program will include a night paddle with the phosphorescence — something you will never forget! This is always our staff pick for the most amazing kayak paddling expedition for international students. All meals, gear, food, and snacks will be provided.

Full Moon Paddle – Spring 2025
An opportunity to howl at the moon and kayak in the phosphorescence! This is a spectacular evening of paddling and watching the moon rise. The glow on the ocean is beautiful and the sight of bioluminescence lighting up the water beneath you is truly a magical experience!! We’ll stop at either Chocolate Beach or Price Road Beach to enjoy cookies and tea. This is always an awe-inspiring evening as we paddle in the moon glow. We will start during the late daylight hours and watch the moon rise as we paddle back to the launch beach. Please dress warmly and bring a water bottle.

Surf Trip to Tofino | 3 days | 2 Nights 
Three days of surfing in Tofino with time to visit the rainforest and to enjoy the fabulous beaches of Pacific Rim National Park. Always an epic adventure and a highlight for international students!

All food and snacks are provided and prepared co-operatively with the group. Includes all camping equipment including sleeping bags, tents, and pads. We also provide surfboards, wetsuits, lessons, transportation, meals and snacks. Departure time is 7:00 am on the ferry from Vesuvius. Pick up at GISS or at the Vesuvius Ferry Terminal.
We go rain or shine so be prepared as Tofino does get a lot of rain being on the wet west coast.
