The AQ Outdoors Calgary Highwood River Paddling Retreat is a week of paddling, relaxing and connecting with nature. Participants get to stay 4 nights at the beautiful River Retreat Kananaskis an adults-only boutique property located directly on the Highwood River. Before paddling enjoy a traditional breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients.
The aim of this program is to immerse participants in whitewater kayak instruction for 5 days on amazing rivers in Alberta. Over this time frame our instructors will polish current skills and introduce new ones, under the framework of fun and safety with the ultimate goal of improving participants' paddling ability and building new connections with other paddlers. We strive to help paddlers improve their technical paddling ability, experience new rivers, and impart our knowledge and passion for whitewater to all guests.
After completing this course participants can expect to have improved on the skills they know and, to have been introduced to and practiced many others. Our holistic approach to kayak instruction will include elements of river safety, technical skills, scouting, group dynamics/communications, and much more.
The scope of the program is nearly endless and our instructors will continually ask what paddlers want to work on and will facilitate that learning.
