Ottawa Kayak School

Ottawa Kayak School has been sharing the magic in whitewater since 1982, making a name for itself providing world-class whitewater kayak instruction for all ages and skill levels. Based out of Wilderness Tours Resort, Ottawa Kayak School is conveniently located at the confluence of the Middle and Main Channel of the Ottawa River. It's the natural base village to the Ottawa River.

Overview

Kalob’s knowledge and prowess as a whitewater kayaker can be illustrated through his personal accomplishments: 2022 Canadian Freestyle National Champion, 2022 Canadian Freestyle Team member, Canadian Freestyle Coach, and Director of World Class Academy’s Kayak Program to name a few. Kalob’s best attribute as an instructor is his ability to take the highest-end skills and break them down to their most basic form.
This course is designed to take your paddling to the next level. As we work throughout the week goal #1 will be to master the fundamentals. Mastering the fundamentals of whitewater kayaking has a direct impact on one’s ability to learn and perform at the top end of our sport. To take full advantage of this course, you will need a reliable whitewater roll to start. August on the Ottawa River is special. Warm air and water temperatures combined with the deep, drop pool nature of the Ottawa River make for the perfect environment for training. The whitewater section of the Ottawa River separates into channels sharing the same put-in and take-out. This creates a unique opportunity to change up the challenges and paddling options which are seemingly endless.
