Spring Programs

Looking for more adventure and deeper connection? Our Spring Programs are designed to build real trail community, establish a consistent rhythm with the outdoors, and lay the foundation for a stronger, more confident season ahead.

These offerings focus on group experiences, skill-building, and time spent outside in good company. Whether you’re returning to the trail after winter or looking to grow your confidence in the backcountry, they’re designed to meet you where you’re at and gently expand what’s possible.

More than anything, this is about creating space—to reconnect with nature, move with intention, and share meaningful experiences with like-minded people along the way.

In collaboration with Wolverine Nordic Mountain Society (WNMS) we are offering Spring Hike Nights at no charge to all residents of Tumbler Ridge. Let the healing power of nature speak to us as we hike close to town for a six-week hiking series.

Starting April 23rd, each Thursday at 6:15 PM we will meet at the Trend Hotel back parking lot and carpool/caravan to a different trailhead each week.

We will hike different pieces of the TR Trail, Flatbed, Quality Canyon and more. No experience necessary. We welcome long-time locals, those new to TR and those new to Canada! Each hike will be 4-5km in length and take about 1.5 hours.

Ages 14+. Although we love children, our programs are designed with adults in mind. We cannot accept dogs on group hikes.

What you will need to bring:

Boots and/or hiking shoes you don't mind getting dirty
Rain jacket
Water bottle
Bug spray
Small backpack

We appreciate you registering to sign our waiver and show your interest, as we have a max capacity of 20 registrants.

1. Nirvana Self-Bailing T-Zip — This is Dee's personal raft and her go-to for everything from whitewater to deep backcountry packrafting trips. Rated for Class III, the T-Zip lets you stash gear in the chambers while the self-bailing floor drains wave splashes instantly — your boat never fills with water. Fair warning: you will get wet, so plan for a wetsuit or drysuit. A true do-it-all machine. ~9.2 lbs.

2. Nirvana Spray Deck — A Class III whitewater boat with a splash guard to keep you dry on the water. Optional skirt attachment locks in dry gear. No chamber storage. Reinforced floor. 12 lbs.

3. Nirvana Spray Deck T-Zip — Everything you love about the Nirvana Spray Deck, now with chamber storage.

4. Recon Self-Bailing — Built like a tank. The Recon is made with 1,000D reinforced PVC and self-bailing features for serious Class IV whitewater. At 18 lbs it's not your ultralight backcountry boat — it's your road-to-river crusher, after-work laps, and multi-day river expedition workhorse.

5. Recon Spray Deck — Without T-Zip / With T-Zip Same indestructible 1,000D reinforced PVC construction, built to bounce off rocks and hold serious pressure so you don't lose momentum in the big stuff. Optional T-Zip for gear storage. At 19.2 lbs, this one's built for the river — not the trail.

6. Rodeo Self-Bailing T-Zip — The pinnacle of packrafting. The Rodeo is rated Class IV+ and is the most advanced packraft on the market — the closest thing to a hard-sided whitewater kayak, at a fraction of the weight. Built with space-age 210D Kevlar™ reinforced TPU sidewalls and an 840D Kevlar™ TPU floor for unmatched puncture, abrasion, and tear resistance. All kitted out, it weighs just 12.6 lbs. If you're serious about whitewater, this is the one.
