“Everyone must believe in something. I believe I’ll go canoeing.” – Henry David Thoreau
Grab your paddle! Five mornings at Sorrento Centre builds confidence, improves skills and generally celebrates the art of lake water canoeing. This will be combined with simple forms of contemplative prayer, reflection, and sharing.
Difficulty/Prerequisites: Suitable for all paddling skill levels, with morning instruction following the RCABC Level 1 Basic Tandem Flatwater program (ideal for beginners, and an excellent skill improvement opportunity for experienced paddlers.)
Participants must be in good physical fitness and prepared to be outdoors for the full morning. Participants are expected to provide their own personal gear. However, paddles, PFDs, and safety equipment are supplied. Canoes are also available for use. Contact Sorrento Centre for the recommended equipment list for this program.
PHIL McINTYRE-PAUL is a former program associate with the Canadian Adventure and Education Centre and creator of “Living on a Prayer: Wilderness Journeys.” His company, Luminous Experiential Event Designs, is committed to building healthy human connections within the wider natural environment. He lives in Salmon Arm, BC.
