We are a not-for-profit organization that provides high quality outdoor programs for new and experienced paddlers, kids, families, schools and other outdoor professionals.

For more than 12 years we have been teaching, learning and building strong programs which recognize the value that being active in the outdoors can bring to people’s lives.

Contributing to the growth of an active and healthy community is an important part of who we are. Access to active outdoor recreation programs helps to build vibrant and strong communities. We are committed to opening doors and making it easier for you to get outside and paddle Ontario’s beautiful rivers. We provide the most professional, safe and fun outdoor learning experience possible - taking care to tread responsibly on the environment.
