We are looking forward to another great year with our specialized kid camp programs. Our camps are renowned for providing the best instruction to our students at a affordable price. We build confidence, and paddling skills from the Beginner to Advanced. There’s thrills, chills, rolls, and some amazing wet exits. We plan to visit new rivers during the week.
For 2010, we have scheduled industry Pro Paddlers joining us this year. Take a inflatable surf board and Werner's new line of SUP paddles, and you get a unique experience of what happens when the ocean meets kayaking. We will be introducing the new sport of River Stand Up Paddle Boarding with world famous paddler Luke Hopkins. Designer and owner of Stride Paddle Board inflatables. Luke was a professional kayaker before incorporating the new sport of SUP'in to his list of achievements. Also, We will be doing trips to the Adventure Sports Center Institute,
Yough, Cheat, and Cassleman Rivers during the week depending on where the rain takes us.
Our program's main focus is to build confidence and skills in younger paddlers, while providing a safe learning environment. Each day we take our students through a progression that allows each paddler to develop a understanding of River Running Techniques, Self Rescue, River Rescue, Play Boating, and Creek Boating Skills. Our week begins on the Yough Lake above our river store location. From here we divide groups in to appropriate levels of abilities to begin a great week of learning.
