This 32-day course will show you why the Yukon is the premiere destination in the world for whitewater expeditionary canoe trips. You'll travel on a wild, remote, clean and technically challenging river as you learn the appropriate skills to make it an extraordinary adventure.

Photo: Stew Chumbley | You'll develop powerful, efficient strokes and become skilled in both bow and stern paddling technique, which you'll learn with a partner as you build your leadership and communication skills. You'll see how the canoe is the softest way to travel in the wilderness and learn how to leave a minimal impact on the shore. By the time you reach your destination, you'll have the technical and backcountry skills to execute multi-day wilderness canoe trips in remote settings and lead others there.
