Programs
At Canoe Passage Outfitters, the
outdoors is our classrom. Away from the noise of the modern world,
we provide challenging, human - powered experiences in beautiful
natural settings. We offer Outdoor Programs year-round. Each program
can be custom designed, drawing on the many activities available
at any given time. Teachers who are interested in setting up an
Outdoor Education program at their school will receive assistance
in customizing a program to meet their needs. Canoe Passage Outfitters
will provide the canoes, kayaks, and other outdoor equipment needed
for each program, along with the experienced ACA instructors/guides,
naturalists, historians, and photography instructors, when requested
to assist teachers with their programs.

Programs range from as small as
a two hour canoe or kayak program after school at Lake Rico at
$20.00/person to a unguided overnight canoe or kayak camping trip
for $60.00/person.
