Fall Youth Kayaking Program (Ages 8–15)

Stoked to get the kids out on the water this autumn? Our 4-week youth kayaking program is all about building confidence, learning solid paddling skills, and having a total blast outdoors before the cold sets in.

Whether they’re complete groms taking their first strokes or keen paddlers looking to sharpen their boat control, our instructors will guide them through the basics—from core strokes and edge control to safe capsizes and team challenges. Loads of games, solid mateship, and proper fun guaranteed.

What to Bring

Kids will definitely be getting wet, so staying warm is the name of the game!

• Must-Haves:

  • Wetsuit (Full suit or shorty to keep the chill off)

  • Wet Footwear (Booties, water shoes, or an old pair of sneakers you don’t mind getting soaked—no sandals or Crocs!)

  • Towel & Warm Gear (To dry off and change into after)

  • Snacks & Water (Stay hydrated and energized)

  • Sun/Weather Gear (Sunscreen, hat, warm beanie—whatever the weather throws at us)

• Kayaking Gear Options:

  • BYO or Use Ours: Got your own boat, paddle, or lifejacket (PFD) you love using? Bring it along! We’ll just do a quick safety/fit check before launching.

  • Gear Provided: Don’t have your own setup? No worries at all—we’ve got full kayaks, paddles, and fitted PFDs ready to go on-site for anyone who needs them.
