2024 Kayaking Basics

New to kayaking? We want to teach you the basics at a beginner level. You will learn about paddling technique and practice these new skills with our instructor along the Allegheny River, a beautiful, local waterway. Topics covered include: the basics of water safety, trip planning, and how to have an enjoyable time on the water. This is a great way to build a new skill set or improve upon what you already know about kayaking.

Following the lesson, students may elect to spend additional time on the water or return to land & learn how to properly secure a kayak for transport.

Cost covers instruction + kayak, paddle and a personal flotation device.
