Kayaking - Private Instruction & Custom Courses

 Private Instruction & Custom Courses

Private kayak courses are designed just for you! Courses can be tailored to meet your personal paddling needs - whether you are new to kayaking or are looking to improve your existing skills. You can you enjoy paddling with your professional instructor on your own, with your paddling friends and/or with your family.

Private kayaking is perfect for you if:

There are no regularly scheduled programs that          will meet your needs.
You have a specific goal that you would like to          focus on.
You have a small group of mixed paddling          abilities and/or ages that would like to receive          instruction together.
You just plain enjoy having an instructor          entirely focused on you!

Prior to departing for the river, you will meet with your instructor and set out your goals for the course. These might include working on or learning the roll, improving your paddling technique or even playboating.
