Join us for the ultimate SUP course - four days of fun, learning and adventure as we explore the spectacular coastlines of east Vancouver Island and the Salish Sea! This camp is a unique opportunity to gain coastal paddling experience and expand your paddling horizons while connecting with a group of like-minded, stand up paddle adventurers. 

Each day you gain new knowledge as we guide you through a blend of ocean safety, coastal touring, and stand up paddle skills development. And each day you will gain experience paddling in a wide variety of conditions as we tour and explore different locations along our coast.  

We center this experience out of the Comox Estuary, one of the most productive natural ecosystems in the Salish Sea and an area rich in First Nations history. White beaches, intriguing islands and rocky headlands are set against the mountainous backdrop of Vancouver island and the spectacular Coast Ranges of mainland BC. It is a great place to test and practice your new found skills and knowledge, gently stretch your comfort zone, and gradually gain experience and confidence. 

The Salish Sea Skills Camp is for SUP paddlers with basic experience who wish to enhance their paddling, safety and decision making skills, and gain confidence and experience in a wide variety of coastal conditions. Throughout our four days together, we guide you through a progression of effective paddling techniques, paddling confidently in wind and waves, navigating river and ocean currents, and self rescue. We gradually increase our time and distance on the water throughout our four days together paddling from between 5-15 km as we progress and as conditions permit.
