This 2 day sea kayak clinic on Georgian Bay is an ideal introduction to kayak touring. The clinic is designed to provide you with basic paddling, safety, rescue, navigation, touring and kayak camping techniques while enjoying a night of wilderness camping in a beautiful setting. The combination of instruction with ongoing coaching, while gaining real experience on an overnight trip, will help you become a safer and more confident sea kayaker.

There will be no certification as part of this clinic, but you will gain knowledge and experience of sea kayak touring and theory from our qualified team of Black Feather guides, who have guided multi-day expeditions throughout Canada.
