  • Come learn the art of kayaking in a fun, high paced young adult focused Kayak Camp that will leave you thinking “that was cool”. This is a 3 day kayak class that takes you from beginner kayaker to seasoned expert in no time. You will learn all the moves, tricks and games that will allow your kayaking skills to grow for years to come! This is a great way to prepare for our overnight trips as well as preparing for a lifetime of kayak enjoyment. After our meet and greet, we will get right down to playing games that introduce the fundamentals of kayaking and kayak safety! The first third of the first two days focuses on outfitting and land based activities. During the second part of the day we will learn to kayak and practice some techniques out on the water. The final part of the day will consist of paddling around the pond, practicing their newly found skills, getting wet and exploring the world around them! Our goal is to get them excited about being outdoors and focused on learning this great new sport! The 15-17 specific groups focus on those young adult age specific games and activities that will keep them engaged and looking for more.
