Adult Intro to Kayaking
This beginner-friendly class is designed for adults who are brand new to whitewater kayaking or looking to build confidence from the very start. Over the course of a single, full day, we’ll introduce you to the essential skills, safety fundamentals, and paddling concepts needed to begin your journey on the river.
We’ll begin the day in the 4CRS on-site pool, where you’ll learn how to outfit your boat, practice safe and controlled wet exits, and get comfortable with edging and body position. After our pool session, we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch at Lake Nighthorse.
The afternoon will be spent on the water working on basic paddle strokes, body mechanics, and foundational paddling concepts. We’ll also introduce simple river maneuvers to help you understand how your kayak responds in moving water and build your overall comfort in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
By the end of the day, you’ll have a solid understanding of kayaking basics and a clear path forward for continued learning.
This class includes all gear, lunch, transportation, and instructors.
