Private Instruction

Get the custom course fit just to your needs any day of the week! The cost is on a sliding scale depending on how many folks are in your group and how long you want to go for. We will keep a 4:1 student to instructor ratio, so the more folks you bring the more world-class kayak instructors you get all to yourselves on the river!

If you truly want to learn to WW kayak we recommend at least a full day lesson to give you the basics. Half-day lessons are great if you already have experience with wet exits, or if you want to learn in a Sit-On-Top kayak.

Introduction to Whitewater Kayaking

If you have never kayaked or have minimal experience in a closed-cockpit boat this is the course for you. Being a competent swimmer with a taste for water and fun is all that is required. This course will give you a solid background in kayaking basics and allow you to have fun on the river. Because everyone has busy schedules we offer a few different options for you to choose from. All gear is included in our lessons, and lunch is provided for full-day lessons!

Itinerary

For our custom trips, we will meet at our location in town. Most beginner lessons will start at our pool on our deck to practice wet exits (getting out of your skirted boat). After that we can discuss with you the many options that we have to offer. Once you decide on an option we can get you appropriately geared up to take you to the river. The section of the river and gear you will be in will be determined by multiple factors. 

  • Time of year
  • Current river or lake levels
  • Group preference
  • Length of trip

Availability

All of our trips are Custom. We can cater any trip to your group's ability and goals for the day. We offer something for all skill levels. Private lessons available every day of the week from April-October. 

 

If this is your first time taking a whitewater kayak lesson we highly recommend that you book a full-day lesson. This will allow you to get some actual time traveling down a fun section of the river to work on the skills that you will be working on in the first half of the day.
