Mark your calendars for the 2021 @shelburnekayakfestival which will be held August 20th-22nd! ... We can’t wait to see you in 2021! : @picnicstudios

If you’re thinking of new things to try outside this summer, why not add paddling to the list?! It’s an excellent way to explore Nova Scotia! At the @shelburnekayakfestival you can even complete your Paddle Canada Level 1 skills course! You’ll gain confidence in a kayak and learn the basic skills for a fun day of exploring on the water! : @lenwagg_photo #visitshelburnens #visitnovascotiasouthshore #visitnovascotia #paddlens #paddleforever

We’re so excited to announce another great addition to our coaching team! This year we welcome Anna Mallin back to the festival! Anna is a seakayaker and sometimes skin-on-frame kayak builder. She loves multi-day kayaking trips which have taken her from Antarctica to Greenland, from Lake Superior to Baja California, and to Scotland and Wales - and closer to home, to Newfoundland and Cape Breton. She is a BCU 3* and Paddle Canada Level III paddler as well as a Paddle Canada Level I instructor. She teaches with either a Greenland or a Euro paddle and has taught at two past Shelburne Kayak Festivals! #paddleforever #paddleNS #visitshelburnens #visitnovascotia
