Last minute availability! We have space to add a 2 or 3 day WW for Sea Kayakers course, next week! Please get in touch ASAP if you may be interested in joining.

Great things happen when sea kayakers take to the river for whitewater training. With a great stretch of river, and beautiful wilderness camping right at the takeout, this trip is both worthwhile and really fun. We’ll return to the Seboomook Roll Dams section of the Penobscot River, giving us access to reliable water a range of paddling challenges, and a proper North Maine Woods getaway. We’ll build skills for understanding whitewater, moving boats with finesse, and making confident moves in whitewater rivers. As with all our courses, the emphasis is on comfortable development, control, and confidence - not on chucking bodies downriver and picking up pieces at the end.

This course is appropriate for competent sea kayakers with no river experience, and for improving whitewater boaters looking to expand their abilities and safety.

We’ll camp along the Penobscot River (established primitive sites, with privies/tables/fire-rings), and spend three days working in the variety of rapids in that area. There will be fun, there will be action, there will be campfires! And I know you’ll notice improvements in both your sea and river paddling after these three days!
