Mini Paddles: Even though these paddles are small (27”), they are still functional as a paddle. They are great for camps that want a traditional award base. Each camper is given a mini with their name on it and as they accumulate camp awards, the respective stickers are put on. When one side is filled-up, a light coat of varnish can be applied to permanently seal on the stickers. These paddles can be made from any of the woods that we use for our larger paddles.

Gifts: Any one of our Oconto paddles are an excellent choice for a gift for any occasion. Cherry, black walnut and birdseye maple are the most popular wood choices for gift paddles. The shape and size is your choice. Christmas, birthday, anniversary  - all we need is a couple of weeks notice. Names, dates and special sayings make these paddles very unique and special.

Trophy Paddles:  Oconto paddles have become very popular as awards in summer regattas, camp sport days, resort competitions and as school or corporate achievement awards. With the Canadian flag on one side, our paddles have been presented as speaker gifts at conferences and included in delegate registration kits. All of these paddles can be crafted from any of the woods we use. Your company, camp or school logo can either be painted on the blade or scanned onto a sticker and put on the blade. We will advise you about this after we have seen your logo. We can also suggest which wood colour will match with your logo.
