Great Lake's Tripping Course - Paddle Canada Level 2 Skills (Five Days on trip. Phillip Edward Island, Georgian Bay)

Take a launch and learn trip with us! We believe that the best way to truly improve your skills is by instructing and practicing in the environment and conditions you’ll be using them!  Many people only get a 4 day course with a single over night experience for their Level 2 course.  This is where Learntokayak.ca is different.  We believe these extra days on trip really round out our students and help them become much better and more experienced paddlers.  This is why more paddlers choose Learntokayak.ca for their Level 2 experience than any other outfitter in Ontario!

What better way is there to learn your Level 2 Skills than while paddling the beautiful shores of Northern Georgian Bay? Phillip Edward Island is located on the North Shore of Georgian Bay, just south of Killarney Provincial Park. For anyone who has paddled here it’s an experience they never forget. The coastline is littered with small islands and with the Cloche Mountain Range in the background it makes the photo opportunities frequent and the paddling exciting.

We depart southward down the Chikanishing River and out onto the North shore of Georgian Bay. This short section of river winds and flows out onto Georgian Bay a little northeast of the town of Killarney. A great thing about Phillip Edward Island is the ability to paddle in close to the island for navigational practice or to head out and around the outer islands for practice in bigger conditions.

Camping opportunities are frequent on the Outer Islands which is usually where we decide to camp due to the lake breeze reducing the bugs!

This is a Level 2 course so participants will be taking it in turns to lead the group under the supervision of your Instructors. You’ll also, as part of your required skills, be taking a turn in the camp kitchen under the supervision of, and with instruction from head camp chef Roberts, (also known as James, your instructor.) Through the duration of this 5 day trip we will have plenty of time to teach and practice paddling skills, improve our outdoor camping and culinary skills, navigate through this incredible maze of islands and channels, swim in the freshwater and enjoy the rugged wilderness. Kicking back at the end of an exciting adventure filled day and watching the glorious sunset is, as they say, priceless.

Prerequisites for this trip are a Paddle Canada Level 1 skills or equivalent. This is a Level 2 Skills trip. We will be teaching all the Paddle Canada Level 2 content and the end of the trip we will award you your Paddle Canada Level 2 Certification upon successful completion of the skills. For more information on the skills to be covered please contact us and we will email you the Paddle Canada Level 2 assessment sheet.
