Canoe Camp
INTENSIVE CANADIAN & KAYAKING COURSE – HOLIDAY AND FURTHER EDUCATION IN ONE
14-17 July 2022
Water hiking is fun, but being able to relax and be safe in a canoe or kayak requires knowledge and experience .
That's what we want to offer you (paddlers say "DU") with this camp. Theory and practice are closely linked and the fun factor is high.
We don't do any high-performance sport, but want to playfully accompany you into the world of water hiking (except for sea kayak tours and white water). And of course the evening campfire romance is not missing.
The aim of this relaxed intensive course is for you to feel safe enough to go on a tour in a canoe or kayak on your own afterwards. This also means that you know what to do in the event of a capsize - not only if you capsize yourself, but also to be able to help other water hikers.
However, you do not have to meet any performance standards at this camp, but can engage in the topics and exercises at the appropriate speed and intensity for you.
