Open Water Canoe Skills Day Course - Solo
The open (Canadian) canoe is synonymous with journeying, self-reliance, and bushcraft travel. It provides a quiet, elegant way to move through the landscape, linking camps, carrying expedition kit with ease, and opening access to wild places that are otherwise unreachable on foot.
One of the most common questions we are asked is how to gain real, practical experience of handling an open canoe 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 question.
The Open Water Canoe Skills Day Course - Solo offers a focused and immersive day on open water, led by an open water canoe leader–qualified instructor with extensive expedition experience. The aim is to develop calm, capable paddlers who understand how to manage wind, trim, load, and technique—giving you the confidence to travel safely and efficiently on lakes and reservoirs.
