Tirol Camp

8 June - 11 June

450€

This year, for the first time, we are offering a Tirol kayak camp right at our home. The rivers around Innsbruck are great to hone your own kayak technique or even to test your limits. Our base is the campsite directly at the Natterer See, from here we can reach many rivers with very different character within a radius of one hour. In the evenings we either cook together or go out for dinner in Innsbruck - whatever we feel like!

At this camp we offer an F1 and an F2 course. Please click on one of the courses below for more details about the respective content and prerequisites.
