We strive to provide quality gear and safety conscious instructors.
Water sports, however, as well as many other sports have inherent
risks. Due to these risks we ask that a parent or guardian read,
accept and sign a waiver, which we will provide prior to the lesson,
(view and print waiver).

Kids Kayak Program
$195 (+ tax) per student
|
|
This is a great way for kids to learn to
kayak. The weeklong program is 3 hours per day and gives
kids a solid foundation in kayak paddling. The kids begin
with entries, wet exits and basic strokes. They progress
to leans, bracing and mastering a slalom course. Efficiency
of stroke and rescues are then covered. They continue
to use all of these skills in moving water, which can
be applied to whitewater or touring. All of these skills
are reinforced along the way with fun and games.

wet exits with spray skirts, how to scout and read a river,
swift water safety basics, whitewater strokes and paddle
