Kayak Instruction

Learn to Kayak!

We have built a nation-wide reputation for quality whitewater instruction. Our courses are held year-round and can accommodate beginner through advanced, from children to adults.

We often have multiple clinics going on at the same time which allows us to arrange people into groups that are ideal for their learning. Youths, women and the natural quick learning kayakers can often be in their own groups.

We have the kayak clinic for you.

You can sign up online once you have chosen the clinic you wish to take. You are always welcome to call us if you have any questions. Kayaking is fun!
