This river trip is the natural progression from our Introduction to River Kayaking Lesson or our Indoor Beginner Kayaking Series. It is designed for kayakers who have never been on whitewater before, or for those who want to polish up and review their technique. We spend the entire day on the river learning and practicing skills.
