Paddle Canada programs are nationally recognized certifications that take paddlers from the novice level and progresses through to advanced open ocean kayaking. Horizons has offerings from Introduction (novice) up to level 3 (intermediate/advanced) all available this summer. Most are close to home. A few are offered in other exciting locations such as Vancouver Island or in the Gaspe. Now a Paddle Canada certification option is offered on all our Intro to Kayaking weekends when you complete the requirements and meet the prerequisites.

- Level 1: Paddling in a group or solo in calm, protected waters on a day trip.
- Level 2: Includes multi day travel and less protected coastline.
