Georgian Bay Sea Kayak Trip Description
Join us for a memorable adventure exploring Canada's Georgian Bay by sea kayak. We spend a day with the professional staff at White Squall Paddling Center learning sea kayaking skills before launching into an eight-day paddle through the crystal blue waters of Lake Huron and camping on picturesque islands that dot the bay. Living in the bay's backcountry, you learn technical skills while learning about yourself through interaction with your group and the natural world.

Trip Difficulty: Level 3
Level 3 trips are intermediate hiking, climbing, backpacking, biking, canoeing, and kayaking trips that encourage growth as a leader. Wilderness instruction in all Level 2 skills, plus campsite organization, stove maintenance, additional cooking duties, river crossing, and additional leave no trace skills. High ropes challenges and additional opportunities for leadership help to develop and extend personal growth and enable you to gain skills similar to those taught in Echo's L.I.T. and C.I.T. programs.
