We are offering courses on Quadra Island, Salt Spring Island, Ucluelet and Clayoquot Sound. Check out our courses at https://coastalcurrentadventures.com/kayak-guide/

Throughout our programs you will learn proficient paddling techniques using strokes, rescue systems, group management, risk assessment, leadership & communication. Other skills we will cover are navigation techniques, weather, tides currents and decision making based on observations, information and interpreting the conditions.

The ocean and surrounding environment that we live in is a powerful place and deserves respect. We must observe, listen, interpret and make safe, responsible decisions so that we can give people positive experiences.

Our annual Adventure Day Camp for 9- 12 year old's is coming up!
August 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th

Campers practice kayak strokes and rescues on beautiful Cusheon Lake in preparation for an ocean paddles to white shell beaches in close proximity to Salt Spring.
They take hikes to Mt. Maxwell, Ruckle Park and the Menhinick First Nations Reserve with their majestic fir and cedar trees, arbutus groves and stunning seascapes. We plan the shoreline excursions to facilitate optimum intertidal exploration and mountain hikes for the warmer times of the day.
Our certified playful guides teach campers about the coastal ecosystems, initiative games and survival skills. They supervise the daily free time at the lake when campers can swim, paddleboard, kayak, canoe and tool around in a motorized rowboat.

West Coast Kayak/Surf Camp!!
12 DAYS / 11 NIGHTS | AGES 15-18

July 27th - August 7th 2025 - 1 Spot Remaining!

Join our team for a unique experience to Surf & Kayak on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.

We will spend 6 days surfing the beautiful beaches in Pacific Rim National Park while also exploring the forests and shorelines, deepening our connection with these magnificent places. During the surfing component of this program we will be base camping at Surf Junction Campground between Ucluelet + Tofino.

Once we have surfed to our hearts content we will transition to the sea kayak portion of the journey. We will set out from Toquaht Bay near Ucluelet and spend 6 days paddling & camping throughout the Broken Group Islands in the Barkley Sound. During our kayak journey we will experience this vast archipelago of amazing islands and the creatures, large and small that inhabit the lands and waters of this abundant environment.

This program brings together youth ages 15 - 18 years old and helps them build their confidence while taking on Leadership roles in the group with guidance from their instructors and support from their piers. All youth will be part of the cooking, cleaning, packing, decision making and reflecting on our experiences.

All of the places we will visit during this program are home to the Nuu-Chah-Nulth people of the Tla-o-qui-aht, Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ & Toquaht First Nations who have stewarded these land for time immemorial. We honor and respect the places that we learn & play while opening our hearts and minds to the rich cultural place we will get to experience on this journey.

We are really looking forward to bringing together a great group of youth to make memories, have fun and learn in one of our favorite places on the planet!!

Kayak Camp is designed to introduce and enhance individual knowledge of kayak strokes, rescues, and navigation, and to foster competent camping skills.
Campers will undoubtedly develop a deeper respect for the natural environment they play in while also establishing new friendships, some of which may last a lifetime. This camp is fun, educational, interesting and at times, moderately challenging, as campers learn to be more proficient paddlers.

The first two nights of camp are spent at beautiful oceanfront Ruckle Provincial Park while the days are based out of our location on Cusheon Lake.
Here we teach fundamental and advanced kayak skills, in order to ensure the group is well prepared for their upcoming 5 day expedition.
Campers will enjoy some free time on this lovely freshwater lake, for swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, canoeing and playing around in various other self propelled watercraft.

Depending on weather and the group’s paddling stamina, each day of the expedition we will set up camp at a new location which may include Sansum Narrows, Wallace and Portland Islands, Dionisio on Galiano and Pirates Cove on Decourcy.
The scenery in this area of the Gulf Islands is spectacular and the marine environment rich with wildlife, seabirds and intertidal species.
