Armchair Series Presentation: Why We Love Paddling with Kevin Callan

During the spring pandemic lock down, author Kevin Callan (a.k.a. The Happy Camper) recorded a number of Zoom Whisky Fireside chats – interviewing prominent paddlers, writers, and filmmakers on what motivates them to go out and encourage others. He’s now put some of the best bits all together for us in an entertaining and uplifting presentation – something you won’t want to miss. It will end with a Q&A with Kevin.

Kevin (aka The Happy Camper) is the author of 18 books; his latest being Once Around Algonquin: An Epic Canoe Journey. He is an award winning writer and a keynote speaker at outdoor events across North America. Kevin is also a regular guest on several television morning shows and CBC Radio. He has won several film awards, writes a column for Paddling Magazine and Explore Magazine. Kevin was listed one of the top 100 modern day explorers by the Canadian Geographical Society. He was also made Patron Paddler for Paddle Canada. Check out his web site at www.kevincallan.com and YouTube channel KCHappyCamper.
