Teen Beginner Kayak 2 Day Course

If you are curious about whitewater kayaking but want to explore the sport before committing fully, this program is the perfect place to start. Our river sessions focus on fundamental skills such as leans, setting angles, and performing eddy turns and peel outs. Using a games-based learning approach, we make kayaking fun and engaging from the very start, helping thousands of new paddlers gain confidence on the water. While emphasizing enjoyment, we also teach proper stroke techniques and responsible whitewater practices, ensuring that every moment on the river is safe, rewarding, and exciting.

A whitewater kayak becomes an extension of your body, fitting snugly for maximum control and maneuverability. After introducing you to your equipment and the sport, we begin paddling in the security of a calm pond. Participants learn essential safety techniques such as wet exits and practice basic strokes, including sweep strokes, forward strokes, draws, and braces. Once comfortable, we progress to moving water to practice river maneuvers like eddy turns, peel outs, and ferries. On the second day, paddlers refine these skills and conclude by running a scenic, multi-mile stretch of the river, providing a memorable and confidence-building experience for all.
