Learn to paddle in the supportive and fun atmosphere of our women's courses. Our female instructors are totally focused on helping you develop your skills while enjoying the relaxed learning environment within an all women's group. Our women's courses are available in both the weekend "Classic Clinic" and the 5 day Immersion Course.

Our day begins at "Gearheads", an awesome local outfitting store in the heart of downtown Petawawa. An urban classic, this thrilling spring run includes two descents of the Petawawa River, a riverside lunch, all safety equipment and wetsuits. After the trip, we celebrate the day with an ice cold beer, juice or soft drink... the first round is on us!
