KIDS' PADDLING PROGRAMS
2013 Schedule
Our kids programs are geared towards children ages 7- 15 who are
at home in the water and are good swimmers. Our programs are designed
for fun and learning on the water with an emphasis on safety. Our
beginner to advanced levels give your child the opportunity to learn
and progress in an environment appropriate for them. Our instructors
enhance the learning process with games, team-building exercises,
and environmental awareness.
Choose from one of our weeklong morning or afternoon sessions.

We strive to provide quality gear and safety conscious
instructors. Water sports, however, as well as many other sports
have inherent risks. Due to these risks we ask that you read, accept
and sign a waiver, which we will provide prior to the lesson, or
you may view and print our waiver.

Additional or custom lessons will be added upon request when possible.
