Enjoy your first night on us in our Paddlers Lodge, the night before the course starts. The next 2 nights will be spent camping out in the world class whitewater playground that is the Barker Lake Play Area. Not only that but we will be serving up delicious meals throughout the course as well! The course has the feel of one of our awesome guided trips but basecamp style and we are focused on running rapids till we drop!

Our intermediate course is similar to our intro course but we ratchet it up a few knotches into progressively more challenging rapids. During this course we will focus on skills for Class II and III whitewater. At the intermediate level, we look to refine your existing skills to make your paddling smooth and effortless. We will also step up the difficulty of manouevres, and the rapids we practice in. By the end of the course you will have a solid knowledge base with which to continue your whitewater progression.

We can run a custom course for you! If you have a group interested in such a course, contact us.
