Our mission is to provide high-quality instruction in kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding that not only teaches technical skills and water safety, but also nurtures personal growth. Through immersive experiences on rivers and lakes, we help youth and adults build teamwork, perseverance, leadership, and a deep appreciation for outdoor adventure. We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive community where every paddler can thrive, on and off the water.

• Co-founder bios

Growing up on Woodstock First Nation, we have always appreciated and respected the water. Fishing, paddling, and hanging out by the river and streams shaped our lives. We wanted to give back to the community and inspire youth to enjoy nature. We decided to open up a paddling school where we could develop skills, character, and confidence within students.
