Our Level 3 Skills courses include practical skills and knowledge for multi-day touring on coastal waters with currents, limited landing options, challenging navigation, and limited access to communication and emergency services.
The focus is on the development and practical application of leadership, risk assessment, decision-making, judgment, group management, and general seamanship. Participants will also continue to develop the skills covered in Paddle Canada Level-2 Skills, to a higher standard of proficiency.
Training and assessment are provided in this course. Our 6-day course is less intense than our 5 day-course.

Thank you again for a great course that has really inspired me on the potential of sea kayak guiding. The energy you both put into the course and high quality of instruction both on and off the water was very motivational.
