This adventurous wellness program is geared for those interested in learning how to kayak.

Everything is provided including kayaks, equipment, shuttle, guides, and safety instruction. Pre-registration is required and space is limited.
Participants must be at least 6 years of age to participate. Participants between ages 6-9 years old must be in a 2-person kayak with a responsible adult.
