Connect. Learn. Paddle. Grow. 

Our events bring the Kayak Ontario community together — from fun social paddles and gear demos to skill-building weekends on big water. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or reconnecting with familiar faces, these gatherings are a chance to share stories, test new skills, and celebrate the lifestyle that keeps us all coming back to the water.

We host a range of experiences for every paddler: 

• Community Events – Meet other paddlers, try new gear, and connect with instructors in a relaxed, social setting. → Example: Level 2 Paddlers Social and Gear Demos (Free)
• Skill-Building Days – Refine your technique and practice in real-world conditions. → Example: Intermediate Day Tours — confidence-building day trips guided by KO instructors.
• Season Kick-Offs and Gatherings – Multi-day community events on big water with workshops, guided paddles, and camp camaraderie. → Examples: Georgian Bay Spring Tune-Upand Big Water Gathering

Every event is open to current and aspiring sea kayakers even if you haven’t taken a course with us before. Some are free, others are guided experiences but all are built around community, safety, and shared learning.
