Hi, My name is Rob Lemmon and I am the owner of Maritime Daytripping Inc. I have spent my entire life enjoying the outdoors, and my entire professional career teaching people how to enjoy outdoor adventure activities. After over 10-years teaching at the college/university level, I am now taking a crack at being an entrepreneur. I am certified to instruct in most every aspect of canoe, sea kayak, stand-up paddleboard and whitewater kayak for Paddle Canada  including being the only certified Coastal Canoe Instructor & Sea Kayak Instructor Trainer in NB. I am the the Senior Swiftwater Rescue Instructor for Rescue Canada. I also am a certified climbing instructor with the Professional Climbing Instructors Association and a certified Wilderness First Aid Instructor, CANSI Telemark Ski Instructor, Cross Country Ski Coach with CCC, and certified with the Canadian Avalanche Association. I am the Board of Director's member representing New Brunswick for Paddle Canada, and volunteer to develop curriculum for the canoe and river kayak programs in Canada.

My desire to  share my love of the outdoors to the people of New Brunswick so they also can have safe and enjoyable outdoor adventure experiences.

Kelsey Maber




Hello, my name is Kelsey Maber. I have been an avid Girl Guide for almost fourteen years now, which has had great influence on my interest in the outdoors and in the environment. In the winter, you can find me on the slopes downhill skiing or crossing the Kennebecasis river on an ATV. In the summer, I sail competitively and spend a great deal of my time on the river, whether it be swimming, canoeing, or water skiing. I am currently a full-time student at Mount Allison University studying International Relations and this summer will be my second summer working for Daytripping, and my second summer working as a camp counsellor at Camp Awesome. One of my favourite parts of working at Camp Awesome is seeing the campers develop the same sort of excitement for the outdoors as I have, and the friendships that are made in the process.
