Canoeing

On all of our trips that include canoeing it should be noted that we are referring to river canoeing. The level of canoeing ranges from Class I on Sampler programs to Class III on Mountains to Sea. None of our trips do canoeing over Class III. Even though a trip such as the Mountains to Sea is noted to do Class III rapids it is still up to the discretion of the leaders as to whether individuals and/or group will be allowed to run the Class III’s, for safety purposes.

ready to launch the canoesExperience on trips ranges from beginner to novice. All trips are designed to teach the participants the basics of canoeing and river running. Participants are teamed up with a partner to paddle with, as all our canoes are tandem boats.

The number of days on the river varies from one on Sampler programs to three on New River Adventure programs.

Most of our programs such as a New River Adventure involve canoe packing. This is where the group will carry all their gear with them on the river and camp at designated sites along the river. Other programs such as a Sampler only do one day of canoeing while Seekers have a combination of the two.
