This is our weekend introductory, or refresher, whitewater paddling workshop on the beautiful Madawaska River.

On Sunday, we’ll celebrate our accomplishments with a paddle down the Lower Madawaska River.
All meals, camping and equipment rentals are included in the price.
This 4-day whitewater canoe trip takes us on a journey with our home river — the Madawaska. In the heart of Algonquin territory, this whitewater gem holds a special place in many whitewater paddlers hearts for being a very “friendly” river to learn and grow with. The Madawaska features class I-III rapids, with portage trails around any and all of them. We love her!!
All meals and camping are included in the cost.
Our 4-day Madawaska River trip is for folks who want to canoe trip, but make it gentle. This section gives you a taste of moving your boat in Class I current (some moving water, a few riffles, a few rocks) without the intensity of whitewater. This section offers us excellent fishing, views of Slate Falls and a day-hike up to Blueberry Mountain. All of our favourite things!
Join us at the headwaters of the Hudson Bay watershed on this 4-day Quetico Provincial Park flatwater trip. Quetico is located the southern edge of the Canadian Shield, among the oldest exposed rock in the world, and we will spend our time travelling between lakes, learning how to paddle canoes, read maps, fish, swim and spend time in the special kind of quiet that comes from being surrounded by ancient bedrock and sacred water.
All meals and camping fees are included in the cost.
