Stay at OSKC

Stay at our paddling centre while you learn to kayak.

We have been teaching kayaking for over 20 years now and since 2011 we have been building our centre in Parry Sound, Ontario. We are located just 2 hours north of Toronto on a 10-acre wooded waterfront property on the Seguin River.

The thing we love most about our centre, is sharing it with other paddlers. If you are taking a Paddle Canada level 1 or level 2 based in Parry Sound you will see the option to stay on-site with us when booking. Our wooded centre with twinkly lights leading the way through the woods at night from our pavilion building to the waterfront firepit or up to your tent is charming. The vibes are always good when you get a group of paddlers together, and the stories shared and friendships that are made alone are worth staying on-site.

Our accommodation in Parry Sound has seven prospector-style tents with live-edge wooden beds and hypoallergenic memory foam mattresses. The tents are nicely spaced out to give guests privacy. On-site, our screened-in pavilion is where you can prepare your meals using cookware and dishes that are all supplied. All you have to do is bring your groceries. We also offer complimentary coffee and tea. The pavilion also has complimentary high-speed internet and many outlets to charge your devices. There is fridge space for everyone in the pavilion as well as high-top tables to prepare food, dine at or sit and have a drink with a new friend. There is also a covered outdoor picnic area. We even have individual cookware, dishware, and cutlery for everyone in their own cupboards.

Our cedar-lined outdoor showers have a woodland view and are perfect to enjoy after a day of paddling.

Go for a swim from our beach, sit in our Muskoka chairs, or swing in the shade of the trees in our waterfront hammocks.

At the end of the day, walk a forest path to your tent in the woods. Your tent will be made up with a clean bottom sheet and pillow with pillowcase, you bring your own bedding or sleeping bag.

We are conveniently yet privately located on the outskirts of Parry Sound. This means that grocery stores and restaurants are all only a 4-minute drive away. Visit Our Tents
