KAYAKING FOR KIDS: 4-Day Kids Kayak Craze
Top 3 Reasons to Go
- A great way for kids to get into the sport of whitewater kayaking.
- Our friendly professional instructors are ACA certified and keep it fun while teaching the fundamental skills of whitewater kayaking.
- Our full service adventure resort offers onsite camping and lodging
Our 4-day Kids Kayak Craze is for kids ages 10-15 who want to learn whitewater kayaking and take a more aggressive attitude toward participation in sports.
In this kids oriented kayaking program, we follow a progression of learning from flatwater kayaking, where we use a games-based approach to teach the basics of kayaking, to moving water and then on to whitewater. We teach essential kayaking techniques and fundamental paddling skills including eddy turns, peel outs, ferries and surfing waves.
WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO PREPARE
Goal of the clinic:
To introduce kids aged 10-15 to the sport of kayaking in a kid-oriented way.
Who should take the clinic:
This 4-day class is for kids who have never kayaked before or want to improve the skills they already have. The 4-day is an aggressive program so participants should be excited about paddling and eager to learn.
What will be covered:
The first day will be spent on flatwater learning how to exit and lean the kayak and working on basic kayak strokes such as sweeps, forward strokes, draws and braces. We play lots of games and each kid gets lots of personal attention. On the second, third and fourth days we progress from moving water to whitewater, running several class I and II sections of the Deerfield River.
