North Channel Kayaking and Climbing II

---

On this trip, students will embark together on a self-supported sea kayak paddle through the historic North Channel. 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 kayak for a week. Most students even learn the "Eskimo roll!" Passport or equivalent is required.
