This youth introduction to whitewater course is aimed at youth, ages 12 to 16, who have little to no previous kayaking and are interested in getting into the sport alongside other youth. This program will allow youth to paddle with their peers and give them the skills and experience necessary to progress their kayaking safely. The course will have a large emphasis on safety. It will include practicing whitewater safety scenarios, knowledge on how to use safety equipment correctly, and how to be proactive in whitewater situations. It will also focus on general paddling techniques and improvements, catering to the individual needs and goals of each student. Team building, skill development, and having fun on the water will be highly emphasized throughout the course. This is a great opportunity to bring together young paddlers and build confidence on and off the river.
