We are thrilled to announce something we have been working on for quite some time.
We did not rush this one out. We wanted to get it right.

A long term progression for all women looking for a supportive space in sea kayaking. We know it can be intimidating. We know the gear can be frustrating. We wanted to build somewhere you can work together, learn, and grow as a team of peers. A place to be welcome and be yourself.
Six weekends, June to January, coached start to finish by the women of Kayak Ontario. Saugeen Peninsula for the foundations, Niagara for current and cold water, pool sessions through the winter. Camping included. Paddle Canada Level 2 and ORCKA Coastal Kayaking Level 1 on completion.

You get asked before anyone touches your boat. You get technique built for the body you have, refined by women coaches. You get a group where you already belong.

Complete the online course ahead of time and sit the invigilated exam with us on site during Instructor Weeks. Leave with the marine radio licence every coastal instructor should hold.

Big Water Gathering is built around the paddling.

You pick your comfort level each morning, we read the conditions, and we drive to the best water on the peninsula for that day. Lion's Head, Dyer's Bay, Cape Croker, Tobermory. That is the whole reason we base this on the Bruce.

Six coaches. Sixteen paddlers.

We bring Valley sea kayaks, Werner paddles and Nookie kit. So if you do not own a full setup yet, that is not a reason to stay home. Turn up, get in an amazing sea kayak, and have some fun in a beautiful place.

Four days in some of the most spectacular places you can imagine.

Sept 3 to 6, Tobermory. Level 1 and up.

Four spots left.

We had an amazing day navigating in Tobermory on our Level 2!

We are wrapping up our two-weekend on water navigation clinic tomorrow. Here are the highlights from one of the days!

A recap of our Lake Superior program for 2026. We had an amazing time in my absolute favourite place to paddle in the world. And weโ€™ve seen many places!

What a day in Lionโ€™s Head for our Coastal Explorer!
