From a previous winning bidder: "This was the most learning intensive day on the water we have ever had - it was also great fun! We covered so much more that just the paddling as they also helped us to prepare for camping along the trail."

The instructors are ACA certified with emphasis on tandem flatwater, Canadian Style tandem and freestyle techniques - plus - they successfully paddle their own tandem canoe.
