This program
is a great introduction to the popular world of kayaking in a friendly
and controlled environment. Spend a week with us and you will learn
the skills you need to feel comfortable in these awesome boats designed
for fun!
The first 3 days of this program are spent base-camping at a set of
rapids on the Noire River. Here the group spends lots of time in the
boats, getting comfortable and gaining confidence. The basics of whitewater
kayaking are taught through a series of games and lessons aimed at making
learning fun. These skills include: directional strokes, power strokes,
re-righting (rolling), rescue & emergency procedures and boating
safety.
 After
the group has completed skills training, we head down river to take
advantage of 4 days and 50 km of practice water. The trip is supported
by a raft that carries the group’s gear and food leaving the kayakers
free to paddle and play their way down the river.
The Noire River is regarded as one
of the finest beginner level rivers in Canada. Easy whitewater combined
with a swift current make the Noire perfect for a first time kayaking
experience. Most of the narrow, deep channelled rapids are run-able -
those that aren't allow us to learn the fine art of portaging a kayak!
Along the way PaddleFoot Guides lead a variety of activities including
whitewater games, wave surfing, playboating workshops, and more! The
Guides ensure safety systems are in place for every element of the program.
After a day of kayaking, the group sets up camp at one of the Noire’s
picturesque campsites. Once settled in there is time for other activities:
crafts, swimming, steaming in a sauna, nature interpretation, games,
or playing under a waterfall. Trippers also have the opportunity to
hone their campsite living skills as each day the group works together
to organize the campsite, build fires, and cook delicious meals.
This trip is for young people who crave excitement and enjoy the thrills
and spills of trying something new! Join us for a week of fun and friendship
and you will leave with a new skill under your belt and memories to
last a lifetime!
