About PaddleFoot

Originally a summer camp for youth, Paddlefoot has evolved into an organization that provides a range of safe, unique, and challenging adventures as well as wilderness education programs of all kinds for youth, adults, families, and groups.

Our adventure programs span the globe and include Canoe trips, Hiking Trips, Skiing adventures, Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, and Northern Exploration. At Paddlefoot, we endeavour to provide our clients with a unique blend of fun, adventure, and education. Our seasoned guides are hand picked to provide our guests with the experience of a lifetime!

Since 1996 PaddleFoot has offered a number of training courses including whitewater rescue, first aid courses, & paddling courses. Our sister company Wilderness Safety Systems also offers a wide range of professional training for guides and outdoor professionals.

The PaddleFoot staff are the backbone of our program. They are talented individuals with a lifetime of experience in their fields. Besides the wealth of safety qualifications, PaddleFoot guides are chosen for their compassion, humour, their passion for the outdoors, and the desire to share something of what they know with others. They are experienced in meeting the needs of people getting used to wilderness living. They are waiting to guide you through what we think are the very best experiences that the world has to offer.

Canoe Trips

PaddleFoot offers exciting trips for people of all different skill levels and interests, from novice to expert; from outdoors person to city slicker! Adults come to PaddleFoot for all different reasons but they always come away with a smile, better paddling skills and an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.
