About
Have you ever wanted to learn a new sport or learn to explore the Potomac River? This class is perfect for you! Mirrored after our adult Kayak Orientation, this lesson is geared specifically toward younger paddlers wanting to learn new skills. Our instructor will first go through safety protocols and fit you with a lifejacket. There will then be an on-land introduction to basic kayaking terminology and paddle strokes such as the forward, reverse, sweep, draw, and pry strokes. With the help of our dock staff, your guide will teach you how to get into and out of the boat from the dock. Once on the water, you'll master the basic paddling techniques with hands-on instruction. You will then practice these strokes on the river with games picked to develop your confidence and prowess on the water!
