Introduction to Canoeing

Our canoeing program builds your skills in a controlled and safe environment on Alta Lake. The course will provide confidence, skills and create a solid foundation that you could build on into the future. The course will be taught at Lakeside Park on the beautiful Alta Lake.

The courses will be held in Whistler over four different dates. You will learn skills such as stokes, draws and sweeps to name a few. The course is geared towards children, youth and adults with developmental disabilities. We strive to create a fun, relaxed learning environment.
