48-Day Foresters Canoe Guides-in-training

Participants receive advanced training that combines leadership development, outdoor skills and preparation for the role of a canoe trip guide. 

Hands-on workshops and a canoe expedition consisting of 28 to 32 days of whitewater travel and four days of flatwater travel help them develop their technical skills, teamwork and confidence in a wilderness adventure setting. 

Throughout the program, participants put what they learn into practice alongside the Kanawana team and gain hands-on experience in leading and preparing canoe trips.
