BC Explorer Paddle Expedition offers an outdoor leadership experience like no other. With two six-day expeditions—Sechelt Explorer and Howe Sound Explorer—campers will paddle through BC’s scenic coastal inlets, learning essential canoeing, wilderness survival, and leadership skills. Each day brings new challenges, whether it’s navigating open waters, setting up camp, or exploring secret waterfalls.
