About the Programs

All canoeing and kayaking programs are designed for adults and families.  Children must be at least seven years old to participate in canoe programs and at least ten years old to participate in kayak programs.  An adult must accompany children under the age of 15. Attendance of introductory programs is mandatory and required prior to participating in canoe or kayak trips.  Participants must attend at least one river trip per season/calendar year to avoid retaking the introductory classes.
