Sea Kayaking

From Indian Arm to the Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound, we explore our coastal waters by kayak. Students are trained in the Paddle Canada kayaking program to make sure they have the skills they need to be safe and have fun.

Canoeing

 We follow the Recreational Canoe Association of BC’s lakewater program as we explore local lakes. The canoe program builds skills and experience so that we can run our Bowron Lake expedition every two years.

wilderness Camping

Whether base camping or backpacking, Club members are constantly learning and practicing wilderness camping skills. Fire-building, tarpology, backcountry cooking — these are skills meant to last a lifetime.

OUR GOAL

To build skills and resilience while enjoying the beauty of this good earth.
