Imagine This!
Your group meets at the Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre facilities to be met by our friendly staff and shown into your fleet of kayaks. Your kayak instructor goes over some basic paddle techniques to help facilitate the journey, then you are lead by the instructor through the inner harbour of Toronto towards our destination on the majestic Toronto Islands.

The Incredible Island Race Challenge!

Goal: The Incredible Island Race – teams follow a map and/or use GPS to travel by Voyageur canoe to special locations on the Toronto Islands where they must complete physical and mental tasks as they try to be the first group to complete the course before the other teams. The winning team is decided based on a combination of total travel time and a points system designated for each of the tasks completed along the way.

After the race, the event can end off with a BBQ provided either on the Toronto Islands or back at the Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre, in which they can relax and socialize.

Approximate duration of race – 3 hour

Island Race - Passport Challenge:
 

Your group will meet on the Toronto Islands via the Centre Island Ferry.  From there you will be guided to the starting location of the Incredible Island Race – Passport Challenge.  Consisting of 4 individuals, teams will be handed a sealed envelope prior to the start of the race.  Inside the envelope are 4 items: a team passport, 1 island map marked with different locations, a reference sheet describing the numbered locations on the map, and a pencil. 

The team challenge is this: Distributed across the Toronto Islands will be “x number” of challenges, tasks, and puzzles, ranging from the “iron chef” to a giant jigsaw puzzle.  Each challenge will be worth a certain number of points with challenges located furthest from the start/finish location worth more than those located closest to the start/finish.  Similarly, challenges that are more difficult to complete will be worth a greater number of points. Within the 2 hour time limit of the race, teams must attempt to successfully complete as many challenges as they can AND return back to the starting line before time runs out.  Strategy must be used, as it may not be possible to complete all tasks within the race time, and once again, some tasks will be worth more points than others. Penalties will be awarded to those teams who arrive at the start line after the 2 hour time limit has expired; conversely, points will be awarded for passports handed in before the time limit. The final scores will be made up of tasks completed, as well as the overall time to complete the tasks.
