Family Lessons

We make learning fun!

We offer small group lessons for your family so we can focus all our attention on your needs and abilities. It helps if every family member is already comfortable around the water.

Every family is different but all ages and abilities can learn to kayak. . . kids, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Heck, you could even plan a family reunion.

• We provide properly fitting life vests for all shapes and sizes.
• We also provide different sizes of paddles for those with small or large hands.

Here is how our family lessons work.

We provide:

• Kayaks for the entire family, solo or tandem or both
• Properly fitted life vests for each family member, large and small
• Adult and child-size paddles
• Safety and rescue equipment
• ACA Certified Kayaking Instructor

Each session is 3 hours and is reserved just for your family.

Here are some of the topics covered:

• Proper fit of a life vest
• Looking out for obstacles and other boaters
• Five different paddling strokes
• Getting in and out of a kayak from shore
• Balance while in the kayak
• When the water and air temperatures are warm enough, we also fall off the kayak into the water and then climb back on.
