Youth Paddle Camp

Our Paddle Camp will take youth to the pristine wilderness and clear waters on the rivers and lakes in the Yellowknife area.  Staff are chosen for their experience, skills and ability to make trips fun and safe. We start on DAY 1 at a local lake make sure everyone is comfortable in the boats and with our safety procedures. Then we are off for 3 nights and 4 days of self-propelled, learning on the land – our paddling trip on DAYS 2-5! It’s a great opportunity to be with a peer group in canoes, setting up camp and learning to navigate amongst islands and along lakes. We focus on beginning leadership skills, and encourage everyone to support each other in this exciting wilderness adventure.

The aim of the camp is to provide campers with the confidence to plan and take part in trips, and to teach them what is required to be safe in the outdoors. Skill development is a big focus, and many of our camp leaders are also seasoned paddling instructors. Our camp leaders are caring adults, and adventure role models.
