Back by popular demand, the Schoodic Retreat is very much a unique event offering a one-of-a-kind combination of open water instructional, exploratorium and fine-living retreat. 

Set against the spectacular backdrop of Acadia National Park, we have easy access to dramatic sea cliffs, off shore islands, the best rock gardening on the eastern sea board, an amazing surf venue and the Sullivan Reversing Falls– a large white water field, in a salt water setting, that can work on both the flood and ebb.

Also new this year, we are expanding to 3 Paddle Pods. Participants will join a pod of similarly experienced paddlers and there is flexibility to jump in with other pods as the fit allows. This assures that everyone from those first testing open waters to full on, hard driving, advanced paddlers, will have a happy home.

On water additions for 2019 include special pricing to allow the option for paddlers to take a day off, exploration&play islands and coastline outside the area, a dedicated boat swap daywhere everyone can try Nick’s Schade’s Guillemot Kayak boats (generously supplied by Nick and CLC) in the water they were designed for and an optional rolling class. 
Off water, we welcome non paddlers with a Friends & Family Program. There is special programming and plenty of exploration/adventure options in this fantastic area to keep them busy.
Participants will be housed in roomy apartments. Both couples and singles will have their own bedrooms in two bedroom apartments, with a shared bathroom, living room, kitchen and dining area. Hearty, high quality meals are served in a oversized log cabin style building. Dietary particulars are accommodated.
Nick has created a more detailed promo on his Guillemot Kayak website. It includes photos and a short video. His copy is geared towards his clientele but, rest assured, there is a pod that is a good fit for any level of active water paddler.
