We learned paddle technique, self-rescue, partner rescues, use of safety equipment, charting, and navigation basics. It was exactly what we needed to get comfortable on the water and overcome the fear of capsizing. Matt was a great guide and teacher. Very knowledgeable and comfortable with the varying levels in the group." - James B., TripAdvisor Minimum 3 participants Meet at Kedge Beach, Kejimkujik National Park
