This works best when the dock is the same height, or slightly higher.

Kevin Callan, the guy behind the KCHappyCamper YouTube channel with over 33,000 subscribers, will be teaching at Frontenac Outfitters this weekend!

Kevin Callan has spent a lifetime canoe tripping across Canada, and nearly as long teaching people how to do it well.

He's written over 20 books, including the best-selling The Happy Camper. He's a longtime Explore Magazine columnist, a National Magazine Award winner, the go-to camping voice on CBC Radio, and ! The Canadian Geographical Society named him one of the top 100 modern day explorers. Paddle Canada made him a Patron Paddler.

He's also genuinely funny, the kind of teacher who makes you want to load up the canoe and leave tonight.

On August 8 and 9, he's teaching a full day in person, right here on our lakefront.

A book can't answer your question. A video can't watch you tie a knot and tell you what you're doing wrong. This is a whole day to ask him anything, watch him demonstrate, and try it yourself, whether it's your first trip or your fiftieth.

On Saturday, Aug 8 or Sunday, Aug 9
From 9 am to 4 pm
At Frontenac Outfitters lakefront
~ Canoe rentals available ~

New on the blog: What to Bring on Your First Backcountry Canoe Trip.

Most first trips go sideways for the same few reasons, and almost none of them come down to having the best gear. Sleep warm, stay dry, treat your water, and get it all across the portage in one carry.

The guide covers the boat, the sleep system, the kitchen, packs, and the one clothing rule that matters more than anything else on the list. It also covers what you can rent from us instead of buying, because a first trip shouldn't start with a full kit purchase.

Two Level Two Sea Kayaking courses, four spots left between them.

Level Two is where paddlers with solid fundamentals learn to handle rough water, run rescues under pressure, and make the calls that keep a day on the water from going wrong.

Our six day Georgian Bay course includes a wilderness tripping portion and starts in under two weeks. Two spots open.
Our four day course in the Kingston area runs less than a month out. Two spots open.

Small groups. If you've been meaning to take this step, this is the season for it.
