Go on the ultimate West Coast adventure this summer!

Explore Clayoquot Sound by kayak and surfboard as you travel through ocean waves and tiny inlets. At night, after a day full of adventure, pitch your tents on sandy beaches or on the edge of ancient rainforests to enjoy the breathtaking West Coast sunsets.

This exciting 21-day course will make your group work together to creatively problem-solve while honing your existing leadership and communication skills. You will be challenged physically and mentally throughout the expedition, and the sense of accomplishment at the end of the three weeks will stay with you for the rest of your life.

If you choose to apply the expedition towards a high school credit, your course work will be done through activities, group discussions and analysis, and daily journal reflections.

AREA & ACTIVITIES

This journey takes place in Clayoquot Sound, on the edge of Pacific Rim National Park, the traditional territory of three Nuu-chah-nulth Nations: the Ahousaht, the Hesquiaht and Tla-o-qui-aht.

Sea kayaking: You will travel in either solo or tandem fibreglass sea kayaks through class 2 water as outlined by the Sea Kayak Guides Alliance of B.C. During the expedition, your instructors will teach you paddling strokes, self and assisted rescue techniques, plus basic nautical navigation, including understanding tides, currents and weather.

Surfing: You will be instructed in basic surf techniques, including understanding and reading waves, basic surf safety and etiquette.



Character Development: This program helps build the following traits

  • Resilience: Participants will step out of the comfort of daily routines and into an adventurous and exciting, yet foreign and uncertain environment. Using the course's challenges, instructors will teach participants how to transfer the skills they learned to their everyday lives.
  • Interpersonal skills: Participants will create a strong sense of community with their peers as they travel through the wilderness, learning how to work together to accomplish daily tasks and make decisions.
