During the season, choose from a kayak, canoe, and paddleboard instruction and rentals, weekly guided kayak social paddles, guided tandem kayak tours, big canoe excursions, and private lessons for groups. They also offer personal boat storage on the city side and the island. Weeklong kid camps can be booked through Harbourfront Centre.
