Fun canoe resources for summer camps

Crazy Canoe - Discover what you get

Requirements: 1 lake/large pool and a whole heap of silliness!

Do you already run a canoe activity at your camp? Are you looking to extend your canoe program to make it more fun?

Our crazy canoe package is entirely unique. You could create one of your own, with much creativity and time to test out your games, we have no doubt that it is entirely possible and feasible to do so! However, what we are offering you is valuable creativity, insight and experience which will help you eliminate common mistakes and provide a crazy canoe that has a working balance of safety and fun!

What you could do:

  • Hire someone to create a fun canoeing activity from scratch. This will take approximately 30hrs+ of work at roughly $10 per hour, and none of our games can be found elsewhere. 100% of this package is fresh knowledge, stemming from 4 years of learning and development by running the activity. You will need to:
    • Search for equipment online, in local stores, trade magazines, camp conferences, neighbor camps, etc. (You may already have your own canoes, paddles and life-jackets – if so, great! That’s all the equipment you’ll need).
    • Create your own games and structure these into lesson plans.
    • Trial and error the equipment and activity to find out safety points and logistical considerations – very important for this activity!

NB: Crazy canoe is a unique activity we have created – we searched for similar programs elsewhere and failed to find any information on the internet or in books.

What we offer:

  • A fully tried-and tested, safe and fun activity plan, with entirely unique games to play!
  • Videos of what the activity comprises, and examples of each game being run.
  • Recommendations of where to buy your equipment from (NB: we do not receive royalties from the suppliers that we list).
  • Safety considerations (except considerations which will be site specific – please call us about those!).
  • Photos.
  • Our trial-and-error knowledge points.
  • A one hour telephone conversation with a member of our staff, well-versed in the crazy canoe program, to help you adapt it to your needs and answer any questions.
  • Email contact for any questions that arise during your implementation.
  • Special offers relating to your purchase, in addition to program updates.

Benefits:

We believe that in purchasing our crazy canoe package, the value you receive is far higher than the investment you would make in creating one from scratch for yourself. Our hope is that in finding a path to success, we can pass our tested knowledge on to you, giving you the tools you need (without the time-consuming research) to create your own crazy canoe activity.

  • You invest considerably less personal and staff time and in creating games for the crazy canoe activity, the research has been done for you!
  • You receive the benefit of our errors made, and knowledge developed from us running the program.
  • A lesson plan that focuses on the learning and development and enjoyment of the campers.
  • Many creative variations for the activity.
  • Reliable contact with a human being, who can answer your questions and help you adapt the program to fit your organizations needs.
  • We hope to spur innovation in your organization by planting a seed.  If you create a program we don’t have, we‘d love to talk about buying it from you for our camp!
