An introductory course where you learn as you
paddle. This course starts on the pond-water above the dam at the Brant Conservation Area… a perfect spot to get accustomed without river current. Your instructor will teach safety and let you practice all the basic steering strokes.
When you feel comfortable shuttle upstream to paddle down a gentle section of the Grand River with your instructor coaching. This is a very scenic section… rich in history. Your instructor will show you how to navigate… see the rocks… recognize "V" channels… avoid shallows… skirt through islands.
When done this course you will be able to maneuver with competence on flat lake water or gentle rivers… it may also give you a taste for the more daring fast water course!
