Introduction to Whitewater Kayaking 1

This exciting program is designed for anyone interested in learning the basics of whitewater kayaking. Whether you are looking to enjoy time on the river or are interested in taking the next step into competitive whitewater kayaking, this 4-day lesson will give you the skills required to be safe and have fun on the water!

The first day will be a refresher on Cultus Lake with the remainder of the program spent on the beautiful Chilliwack River.

Adults, youth, and families welcome!!

Club provides kayak, paddle, PFD, and Spraydeck, but please prepare to get wet and dress for the weather.

DRESS: Wear a wetsuit if possible. The water at Cultus Lake is cool all year round. If you do not have a wetsuit the club has some to lend for the event but cannot guarantee availability or fit.

If a wetsuit is not possible, please wear snug clothing and do not wear cotton. Spandex, Fleece, Polypropylene are best as a base layer, and a wind breaker or rain jacket on top. Also wear water shoes or runners that you can swim with. (No flip-flops, crocs or bulky sandals.) Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses are also recommended.

Also remember to bring a dry change of clothes for after the lesson.
