Prairie paragliding will be offing a complete P1/P2 course August 21th-September 7th 2026 based in Charlottetown, PEI and Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. This is a hybrid course for both students with a P1 and for students with no prior experience paragliding, and by the completion of the course students will have earned their P2 rating allowing them to continue flying independently.
The course will run all day for all of the scheduled days. Depending on weather students should expect ~6 hours training each day as two 3 hour blocks (morning/afternoon and evening) with a long break. The tentative schedule for the course is:
- August 21st – 22nd P1 Ground training PEI (Mostly for new P1s, returning P1s can join if they want more refresher)**
- August 23rd P1 on Hill Training Parrsboro (All students, refresher for returning P1s)
- August 24th – September 4th P2 training Parrsboro, Optionally will extend 5-7 for weather etc.
- September 5th – 7th P2 flights /w Festival of Flight PEI
** Schedule may be adjusted where needed for students needing additional ground time, however, the needs of all students must be considered and adjustment may not be possible.
The course will be based in Charlottetown, PEI and Parrsboro, Nova Scotia and will utilize locations in those areas. Students will need to arrange their own transportation and where applicable, accommodations.
Spots are limited to 8 to ensure that students get the feedback they need to complete this intensive course. There is a minimum enrolment of 4 students to make this course possible. Priority will be given to maritimes residents.
Equipment will be provided (students will need to bring their own helmet, gloves, and appropriate footwear), however, students are strongly encouraged to purchase their own equipment so they can continue flying. A discount will be offered with purchase of equipment. Students should not purchase any used equipment without consultation with the instructor, as the used market is of varying quality and safety.
