There are 6 youth kayakers with guide following them by canoes, these guides are adults of which are experts about kayak and the weather conditions along the coast of Hudson Bay. Each time they will arrive to the community other adults will follow them who know the area to another destination.

In addition to paddling up the Hudson Bay coast the team will make presentations to each community along its route engaging in celebrations of life with local youth.
