    Why GKP?

    Keeping Canadian Backcountry Wilderness Culture Afloat…


    Since 2013, Get Kids Paddling has been committed to supporting the growth and development of paddling experiences for Canadian youth.

    What began as a conversation amongst a few paddling instructors about the best way to build and grow opportunities for the next generation of Canadian paddlers has now grown to a network right across Canada.

    Today, paddling programs for youth face more challenges with respect to planning, resources and managing risk. There has never been a better time for this unique, national undertaking to get kids paddling.


    About

    Learn More, Get Involved…


    Canoeing and kayaking are integral parts of our Canadian heritage.

    Get Kids Paddling is an organization that is committed to supporting the growth and design of programs that can introduce and ignite a passion for paddling and backcountry tripping among our youth.

    In addition to working with outdoor education programs in schools, Get Kids Paddling partners with community-based groups who might also be facing the same restrictions and difficulties with respect to sustainable programming.
