Whitewater Kayaking Weekend NEW!

We start out with a pool session introducing all the basic skills.  Then head out on a class I-II section of river on Saturday working on all of our new skills.  We will campout Saturday night right next to the river, have a campfire, and talk about all the fun we had on the river. Then on Sunday we will move you onto class II-III whitewater working on more intermediate skills.  This day you will learn how to read and respond to the river’s current, choosing a line, Eddie turns and proactive strokes in whitewater.  Sign up today to find yourself having fun on the River!
