Two paddlers. Same move. Very different approach.

Can you spot which paddler is using the river more efficiently? đź‘€
Hint: count the strokes.

Both paddlers are part of STOKED, our intermediate travelling teen kayak camp, where young paddlers build confidence, refine their technique, and learn how to work with the river.

What’s your guess? 🛶👇

A big thank you to our amazing seasonal staff! đź’™

As we say goodbye to Jacob, Quin, Aidan, Ruby, Samaya and Malcolm for the season, we’re so grateful for everything they’ve brought to Paddler Co-op this summer. From teaching and rentals to keeping the site running, they’ve helped make this place what it is.

A very special shoutout to Malcolm, who after 4 incredible years with us is heading off to Pembroke to study Environmental Technician. We’ll miss you, Malcolm! 🛶💙

Wishing the whole crew all the best!
