Introduction to Canoeing

Open Canoeing is a great activity for everyone - perfect for that afternoon of splashing about with the kids, or perhaps going onto some moving water and white water with a group of friends, right up to multi-day wilderness paddling trips.

This course is designed so that you learn various basic paddling skills:

  • forward and backward paddling strokes
  • steering and turning
  • moving the canoe sideways
  • what to do in a capsize

During the course you will also go on a short journey on flat water and play a few games along the way!

And look out for further courses that will take your skill level higher - poling, trim, portaging - and then get ready to Canoe Canada.
