Qajaq TC (Michigan Training Camp) is a truly unique traditional paddlers gathering.
The first event was in August of 2002 and, from the start, we have been affiliated with Qajaq USA. In fact, Qajaq TC was the first ‘all Greenland’ Qajaq USA event in the country.
One can rightfully state this is a full immersion event. There is no access by road, so start paddling! Our spectacular venue creates a truly intimate atmosphere. You will be among sixty (60) individuals representing a broad range of skills who want to do one thing — share and gain experience.
Among our 2009 mentors was Helen Wilson who, in 2008, competed in the Greenland National Kayaking Championships, receiving multiple first place medals. Greg Stamer, Qajaq USA President and Founder led the paddling technique sessions. Having circumnavigated both Iceland and Newfoundland, he’s probably taken more strokes than the rest of us combined! Also included was a neoprene workshop and informal instruction.
We hope you’ll consider joining us in 2010!

“I’m still amazed at the total quality of the weekend”
“You are to be commended on your hospitality, friendliness and openness in accepting new members to the kayaking community.”
“The “TC” is close and informal and feels more like a gathering of good friends than a “typical symposium”. The people, location and the food are wonderful.”
“Anyone who has interest in greenlandic kayaks, skills and equipment would thoroughly enjoy what this camp has to offer.
