SEA KAYAK CLINIC -- On our overnight sea kayaking clinic you’ll learn paddling techniques, safety procedures and kayak camping skills.

We’ll all meet in Killbear Provincial Park on Saturday morning. At a sheltered beach we’ll learn about kayaks and try out basic paddling strokes. We’ll practice self rescues, group rescues and other safety skills.

After lunch the guides will show how to waterproof all your stuff and how to load the kayak. Then we’re off into the 30,000 Islands of Georgian Bay on an overnight kayak trip. As we go there will be new things to try and lots to practice. We’ll camp on a deserted out-island. Here you’ll learn how to set up a good camp - so you’re comfortable, warm and dry and of course really well fed. At the end of the day we’ll sit by the fire and watch the fabulous Georgian Bay sunset. On Sunday we explore the sheltered channels and bays.

There’s time to swim, stop for lunch on the rocky shore and as our confidence grows perhaps try paddling in some bigger waves. Eventually we’ll have to return to Killbear, ready to try a trip on your own or one of Black Feather’s longer kayak expeditions. Complete beginners and developing paddlers will enjoy the learning, light hearted fun and new friends on this trip. Kayaks, gear, instruction, guides and dinner on Saturday night are included.
