Women's course details
This course is for those interested in a women’s only learning environment. Cis-women, trans-women, and non-binary folks are all welcome!
A women’s only course offers a unique learning atmosphere that many instructors, guides and paddlers have experienced, enjoyed, (and asked for!) on the river. Taught by women for women, this course provides the exact same quality of instruction and practice as our other programs — just with an environment some learners may prefer.

Course site
There are a number of great whitewater rescue training sites around Petawawa that we'll choose from depending on water levels.
The meeting location on day-1 at 8:30am is: Petawawa Centennial Park
We'll start at our meeting spot with some on-land training. We'll then travel to our first river site.
For the rest of the course, the instructor will let you know about meeting locations for each day depending on water levels.
