VOLUNTEER
2018 WISKS CAMPOBELLO

The first bi-annual West Isles Sea Kayak Symposium was a success. The symposium was held on Deer Island with headquarters at the 45th Parallel Hotel and Restaurant. The symposium ran from Sept. 9th to the 11th around the Island. The plan moving forward is to alternate locations from Deer Island, Campobello and Grand Manan in the years opposite the BOFSKS. 2018 will be on Campobello Island and we are already in discussions with the international park, Homeland security and the local restaurants and motels.
