Our Instructor Collection is for paddlers who are ready to lead and teach. Whether you're pursuing Paddle Canada certification or ORCKA training, these courses give you the tools to share your passion for sea kayaking with confidence and skill.

Instructor Training Week brings it all together in one immersive event. Each spring, before the busy season, we dedicate a week to skill-building and mentorship — courses, workshops, and shared learning designed to refine your technical abilities and teaching craft. A focused block of training and an opportunity to connect with other paddlers who share your commitment to instruction.

What to Expect

• Paddle Canada and ORCKA instructor courses offered in a single week
• Courses that run longer than minimum standards — time for skill refinement and adult education frameworks
• A supportive environment to learn, network, and grow — a mini symposium for instructors
• Access to our Learning Management System and proprietary training manuals

Why ORCKA or Paddle Canada?

Each serves a different path.

Whichever you choose, you'll develop strong paddling skills, teaching strategies, and the leadership to train and inspire paddlers.
