We will host small groups of 4-5 for a two hour session to enjoy time on the water together. This is a great way to introduce family members to paddling in a fun and recreational setting.

In this course, our highly qualified instructors will guide small groups through the essentials in a supportive and fun learning environment focusing on movement skills, safety, and basic skills.
