Packing list for Canadian Sea Kayaking »

On this course, students will embark together on a self-supported sea kayak paddle expedition through the historic North Channel of northern Lake Huron. Using 17’ kayaks, students will live out of boats as they journey from island to island. Students will enjoy manageable paddling distances, plenty of water play, and time for island exploration.

Along the way students will camp on granite islands and peninsulas, climb and rappel a rock face that drops 60 feet to the water below, and gain the skills needed to safely travel and live out of their sea kayak for a week. A North Channel sea kayaking expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Passport or enhanced driver’s license required.

PER 138 course credit exemption
