Enjoy Sea Kayaking!

You can't beat the feeling that paddling your own kayak offers.  If you are like many of us, you are looking for a way to enjoy the outdoors in a simple and healthy manner, to get away for a bit of peace and quiet, and to have the freedom to explore at your own pace.  You would like to keep active in a way that is fun, relaxing, and lets you take in nature.  Let Coldspring Paddling Instruction teach you to enjoy the freedom of paddling a kayak, and to do it in a safe, comfortable and efficient way that will keep you paddling for many years to come.  You will learn how to paddle a kayak efficiently so that you can make the most of your time on the water and avoid muscle and joint problems.  You will learn key safety skills that will let you paddle in confidence.  You will gain the knowledge you need to make good decisions and to continue going forward in the activity of kayaking. 

Whether for an evening out on the quiet lake at the cabin, or as the foundation for a grand adventure in Saskatchewan’s remote northern wilderness, lessons from Coldspring Paddling Instruction will help you achieve your goals.

Visit the Lessons Page to learn how you can soon be enjoying the freedom of paddling your own kayak!  With kayak paddling lessons in and around Saskatoon, operating in all seasons, you are sure to find a lesson that suits your skills and your schedule.

It's a busy weekend coming up for Coldspring Paddling Instruction. We'll be helping get people into canoes and kayaks and shepherding them on the water at Saturday's Demo Day for Classic Outdoors at Erindale Pond, then on Sunday we'll be helping out CLassic Outdoors again doing the same thing during the Saskatoon Canoe Club's Open House at the boathouse in Victoria Park. Come check out the canoes, kayaks & stand up paddleboards and head out for a test paddle.

The schedule of lessons for 2012 has been more or less online for a while, but I think I can finally say it's complete and ready to go! (No more tinkering.) Everything has been put into a new online registration system which lets you see the full slate of lessons at a glance, or view by course category, or even by calendar. Once you find the course you like, you can then register for that course. You'll see if there is room in the course or if's full. Go ahead & check it out and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . 

Coldspring Paddling Instruction will be coming to Candle Lake for over a week at the end of July and have 7 kayak paddling courses on the agenda for that time period. There will also be a bit of time for custom kayak lessons while we are there. You can see the schedule at our Candle Lake page. Learn to kayak in the beauty of the parkland in north-central Saskatchewan!

The majority of the Coldspring Paddling Instruction 2012 schedule of kayak lessons is now posted on the website. Check out these great courses being held in a variety of locations in Saskatchewan:

Some of these courses are running in the Saskatoon area (including Blackstrap and Pike Lakes) while others are being offered at Candle Lake, plus one clinic near my hometown at Humboldt. 

It's going to be a great year!
