10yearsWe 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 10 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 in which we work.

Fall Update

The leaves are no longer clinging to the trees; winter is not so far off. With the chilly weather comes a shift in recreational pursuits, festive holidays, perhaps some gift giving and no doubt some early longing for the paddling season of 2010.

All of our staff have now returned to their ‘day jobs’ – back at school, self-initiated ventures and travel to warmer weather, new rivers and great adventures. Many thanks to their energy, passion and love for teaching and paddling. Without a doubt, it is the eclectic group of people who work with Paddler Co-op that shape your experience.

As well, many thanks to everyone who joined us this past summer. Despite some of the bleak summer days, the Boathouse was buzzing with activity, great community and lots of stories from the river. August and September on the Madawaska River did make up for some of the cold July weeks. We were treated to spectacular days and great water levels right through to October.

2010 Season - Join Us!

Learn to paddle or refine existing skills on one of Ontario's greatest natural resources. The river is an ideal natural playground and we work hard to make playing on it safely as accessible as possible to everyone.
