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!
(the ultimate team building activity)

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

Survivor Challenge
Goal: Travel via Voyageur canoe out to a location on the Toronto Islands where teams will find materials to build a raft, which must be able to transport your entire team around a course, then solve a puzzle on the beach before the other team(s). 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 challenge– 2 hours

Cost and availability varies depending on group size and time of year

Workshops and island paddling:
Picture your group meeting down on the waterfront, traveling to a location on the Toronto Islands where they meet up with an inspirational speaker, James Crookston of Lifeset.ca. After experiencing one of his many workshops ranging in duration of 1 hour to a full day, they paddle back to enjoy a BBQ at the Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre. Remove your peers from the busy city and return them with a fresh outlook, new strategies and more motivated to achieve!

Please read an introduction from our friend James Crookston of Lifeset.ca:

Greetings! I’m James Crookston, founder of Lifeset.ca. The company was created to provide timely and effective strategic solutions to identified personal and professional developmental needs.

I've found that, with ongoing rapid change constantly destabilizing and altering established pathways to success, there was a need for a process – PRO/SPER™ - to help both individuals and businesses clarify:

• directional focus
• purposeful objectives
• relevant pathways to achievement.

Lifesetting’s® powerful PRO/SPER™ process is designed to provide directional clarity by beginning with the end in mind. The process helps clients enjoy more success in both personal and professional contexts by creating realistic strategies that effectively help them achieve desired end-results.

Today, there are enough personal and professional challenges bombarding us from all directions. How can I help your group achieve more positive results with less frustration and in less time?

Contact us at james@paddletoronto.com for a list of up to 20 possible workshops and seminars.

Our schedule is designed to provide you with the opportunity to have a morning work-out and then leave you with enough time to refresh before heading off to work.
