Open Water Canoe Skills Day Course - Tandem
The open (Canadian) canoe is synonymous with journeying, teamwork, and bushcraft travel. When paddled well as a pair, it becomes an exceptionally efficient and elegant way to move through the landscape—linking camps, carrying expedition equipment, and opening access to wild places that are otherwise unreachable on foot.
One of the most common challenges for aspiring expedition paddlers is gaining real, practical experience of handling an open canoe as a team on exposed water before committing to a wilderness journey—whether that is the vast sweep of Lake Laberge on the Yukon River or the interconnecting lakes of our Swedish canoe expeditions.
This course is designed to answer that need.
The Open Water Canoe Skills Day Course – Tandem offers a focused and immersive day on open water, led by an open water canoe leader–qualified instructor with extensive expedition experience. The emphasis is on developing clear communication, efficient teamwork, and confident decision-making, enabling pairs to travel safely and effectively in open, wind-affected environments.
