What better place for skill development than at our West Coast Expeditions kayaking base camp on Spring Island in the Mission Group on the wild northwest coast of Vancouver Island?! Participants will revel in daily paddling and instructional sessions: Cheri and Turner will offer catered skills sessions and paddles to inform and enhance your skinny stick abilities. And our West Coast Expeditions staff will share their intimate knowledge of the local marine environment while serving up guided trips specific to sea conditions and learning objectives!
In addition to all the unique paddling choices, myriad other opportunities await you in this glorious part of the world: yoga at sunrise, day hikes, evening talks, delicious and wholesome meals, waterfront canvas tents with
comfortable beds, hot showers, afternoon rolling in the bay, evening bonfires.
This unusual offering is open to beginner, novice, intermediate or advanced paddlers.
The inclusions and itinerary are similar to our regularly scheduled "5-Day Sea Otter Kayak Tours" from our base camp, with adjustments to the daily rhythm for specific skills clinics before, during, or after outings. Kayaks are provided. With early bookings, we may be able to arrange for specific kayak models. Alternately, intermediate and advanced paddlers may prefer to bring their own kayak for familiarity - we will arrange any necessary water taxi transportation to our camp. Immersion protection (wetsuit or drysuit, including neoprene hoodie/cap) are required for optimal learning and safety during this specialized workshop.
Book now or inquire directly through West Coast Expeditions.
And learn more about Cheri and Turner directly through Kayak Ways LLC.
