I had my kids experience tipping a canoe when they were very young, primarily so they would not panic if it ever happened. As teenagers they could jump out of a canoe to swim and climb back in without thinking twice.

If you have never done it before I suggest you do it alone first, so YOU know what to expect, then do it with the kids.
