Intro to kayaking (10-14 years)

This course is suitable for complete beginners aged 10-14 who want to learn to kayak. Most of the lessons are at Cultus Lake but at the end of the lessons set we include flatwater slalom gates at our Cedarwahl Farms slalom facility, with a fun community slalom race at the end of the program. Slalom gates are a great way to improve paddling skills in a safe environment and it’s lots of fun!
