Beginner Kayak Lessons

From “first time in a kayak” to expert, our beginner kayak lesson is a great way to have fun and to build your confidence on the water! These courses focus on skill sets specific to their respective environments and are taught in respect to the American Canoe Association (ACA) standards. All classes are semi-private, meaning you are private or with similar skill level students. All of our beginner kayak Lessons are taught by ACA Certified Instructors.

You don’t have to have any experience to join this 1.5-2 hour introductory class. Our introduction to kayaking course is a fun and easy way to get started kayaking. In this half day class you will learn about kayaking safety, equipment, launching and landing and basic strokes.

This class is geared for all types of kayaks, from sit on top and recreational boats to touring sea kayaks.
