Low Experience Pre-requisite / Higher Focus on Skills Training / Optional TRAK Kayak Add-On
- Region: Gulf Islands, West Coast of Canada
- Duration: 4 Days, 3 Nights
- Dates: September 19 - 22, 2025
- Skill Level: All are welcome
Led by TRAK Pilots and the HQ team, we invite you to join us for this symposium-style event. We will make use of the group camping facilities on Saysutshun (Newcastle) Island, easily accessible from the Nanaimo harbour. There are bathroom facilities present, as well as several other amenities nearby - this will not be a "rugged" experience.
Skills training topics include paddling skills, techniques, and mastery of the TRAK 2.0 itself. TRAK Pilots and guest presenters bring a wide spectrum of expertise, with programming planned for both novice and experienced paddlers.
We look forward to strengthening our communal ties and forging friendships that inspire future expeditions and simple trips. There will be some festive entertainment, such as live music, to enjoy in the evenings after dinner.
There is an optional multi-day tour to DeCourcy Island at the end of the gathering, which will take place from September 22nd-24th. The conclusion of the gathering is also a perfect launchpad to other adventures on Vancouver Island.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Are TRAK Kayaks designed for air travel?
Yes! Our latest model, the TRAK 2.0, packs into a rolling travel bag specially designed to meet airline requirement for check luggage. For recommended best practices for flying with a TRAK folding kayak, visit this page.
Are my flights included in the price?
Your transportation to and from the starting location is not included in the trip price. For more information about flights and logistics, contact our team.
Do I have to sleep in a tent?
Not if you don't want to. Each TRAK trip is uniquely tailored for paddlers based on their comfort zones. Some trips are designed for paddlers with lots of experience and personal camping gear, while others are designed for paddlers who prefer to base camp from a fixed roof accommodation.
Do I have to get wet?
Not if you don't want to! While our instructors are often happy to teach skills around wet exits, reentries, and rescues, you are not required to do so.
