Youth Programmes
White Squall has offered youth programming at a lower rate to encourage young people to get outside. We have donated lightweight Souris River kevlar canoes to the local highschool out-trip club along with free canoe rentals on a yearly basis for their annual canoe trips. Each year, the district-wide Grade 8 Camp has been provided with kayak rentals at no charge. We welcome any donations to these efforts to support our youth.
