A summer-long, fun, safe introduction to river kayaking program for 8 to 13-year-olds. Parental participation is encouraged and it is all about fun on the water with other like-minded kids.
This program is designed to introduce participants to the exciting and active lifestyle of river kayaking. Aimed at building foundational skills and developing confidence on the water, the course provides a fun, supportive environment for learning. As participants gain experience, the focus shifts to refining paddling techniques, improving boat control, and developing a greater sense of comfort and independence in various water conditions. This program offers a great way to explore the joys of paddling while building confidence and skill on the water.
To generate enjoyment and appreciation for kayaking and the outdoors for all participants. To engage families to get out on the water together and enjoy the great waterways we have local to Calgary. Specific skill development is less of a focus than fun and safety, however, we would expect all kids will have good boat control and confidence in the kayaks by the end of the program.
