Main Salmon, Grand Canyon and Futaleufú what do they all have in common? Big volume!

Are you wanting to practice your big water game before a big trip or simply learn to become more comfortable paddling bigger volume?

The Ottawa River provides the perfect venue to learn how to interact with big volume features in a low consequence setting with large pools at the end of each rapid.

Wilderness Tours and Ottawa Kayak School are proud to announce the first Big Water Bootcamp hosted by Joel Kowalski and Casey Bryant Jones on May 22nd - 29th. This week long clinic is designed to take your personal skills to the next level focusing on big water paddling techniques, water reading skills and mindset exercises.
