Join us for Paddlepalooza, Ontario’s premier sea kayaking symposium, proudly hosted by the Ontario Sea Kayak Centre at beautiful Killbear Provincial Park. Now in its 14th year, this event brings together world-class instructors, passionate paddlers, and the stunning backdrop of Georgian Bay for a weekend of learning, adventure, and community.

Whether you’re new to kayaking or an experienced paddler, Paddlepalooza offers clinics for all skill levels — from essential strokes to kayak rolling and rough water techniques. Participants can choose between two- or three-day options, with Friday sessions available for those who want to extend the fun.

Set up camp, share meals, and connect with paddlers from across North America. Your registration includes both the paddling clinics and camping fees. On Saturday night, don’t miss the outdoor Paddling Film Festival — an inspiring highlight of the weekend.

Come celebrate the spirit of adventure, learning, and friendship that makes Paddlepalooza truly special.
