The kayak workshop is a concentrated course to help individuals develop the knowledge and skills necessary to run easy whitewater rivers in a kayak.  It is a solid introductory course for the beginner and a good refresher for the individual who already has some kayaking experience. The course will include basic skills including forward paddling, draw and sculling strokes, high and low bracing, eddy turns, deep water rescue techniques, river safety, and the Eskimo rescue and roll. The course will start off with an introduction to kayaking on flat water and progress to a moving water experience. The culminating activity will include a weekend river trip.

All kayaking equipment is included.
