Rendezvous River Sports & Jackson Hole Kayak School

Rendezvous River Sports and Jackson Hole Kayak School are now in our 26th season of operation. Rendezvous is the hub of paddle sports in Wyoming and is located in the heart of Jackson at 945 W. Broadway. Led by World Class expeditionary kayaker Aaron Pruzan, Jackson Hole Kayak School has the most experienced staff in the region. From international first descents, national-level Wildwater and freestyle competition, World Cup slalom racing and touring kayaking from Maine to Mexico and the Pacific Northwest our instructors have expertise in all aspects of paddling. This breadth of knowledge (combined with over 60 years cumulative of teaching) gives an added element to our courses that all of our guests benefit from. In addition to kayaking, Aaron has personally been at the forefront of river Conservation and access issues in Wyoming and the intermountain region. As a founding board member of the Snake River Fund and a board member of American Whitewater, Aaron is working not only to keep the Snake user fee-free but also to ensure the long term health of the upper Snake River watershed and its outstanding scenic and recreational values. We are fortunate to live and work in this unique area and look forward to sharing both our passion for paddle sports and the wonders of Yellowstone Country with all our guests - we hope you join us! Courses include lunch, transportation, and equipment. We provide only the best boats and gear for your lessons. To get the most from your course we make sure you are matched to the appropriate boat. Comfortable custom outfitting is one of our hallmarks.
