Course Materials

By the time students come back to us for a Paddle Canada Level 3 course they are usually already venturing competently on multi-day trips. Additional coaching in a more dynamic environment takes paddlers to the next level.

Learn advanced rough water paddling skills, leadership, and group-management for multi-day trips in class-3 water.  Group members take turns leading and making decisions based upon weather and sea state during a multi-day journey. Participants will work out solutions to multiple scenarios in dynamic conditions.

We are excited to offer this course in Ontario. Our plan is to make the call of where exactly once we see what the weather is doing. The plan is to meet everyone in Parry Sound where we will load into our 12-passenger sprinter with a trailer of kayaks behind us and take off to wherever we have the best chance of conditions. We will have a meeting with the group ahead of time so we all know what the options are. Wilderness Camping will also be an element on this course and we also have access to multiple rivers that will create an environment for current practice.

We teach this level in an ego-free, challenge-by-choice environment and encourage all genders and ages to come and have fun learning and progressing in this sport.

What You Will Learn

  • Practical application of leadership and group management.
  • Risk assessment and incident management.
  • Judgment and decision-making.
  • General seamanship skills.
  • Knowledge and experience to take dynamic multi-day kayaking trips on the ocean.
  • Improved stroke technique and efficiency.

Really loved the level 1 course. Your personalities and the way you work together made for a fun weekend. We learned a lot and both feel better prepared to perform either an assisted or solo rescue.
