Small Craft Safety: Canoeing

Level: All

Course Description: This blended-learning course is comprised of an online module and an in-person skills session. In this course, you will learn basic safety guidelines for canoeing and how to maneuver a canoe using flat water paddling strokes, as well as how to prevent, recognize, and respond to many types of canoeing emergencies. Hands-on skills, including managing a canoe and performing rescue techniques, will be practiced at one of our camp’s lakes. Please note that the skills session requires strenuous physical activity, including capsizing, emptying, and reboarding a canoe while wearing a life jacket. Practicing these skills may result in minor scratches or bruising. Course Registration: This course may only be accessed via the Small Craft Safety: Canoeing learning path.
