Intro to Whitewater Kayaking

This program begins on the flat water of the Erie Canal and ends at the Lock 32 White Water Park.  The course presents a strong foundation of basic kayaking skills and river safety.  Our ACA certified instructors will give you a solid foundation of kayaking strokes, boat control, whitewater maneuvers and wet-exiting (getting out of the boat when upside down).  Our low (1:5) instructor to student ratio insures that you will get personal attention. Safety is always our highest priority.  All kayaks, helmets, paddles and life jackets are provided.  This foundation will begin the process of a lifetime of enjoyment paddling North American rivers. 

All participants must be able to swim.

Please note:
Registration closes at noon on the Friday prior to the start date.  A minimum of 3 participants are required.   GWC reserves the right to cancel the course if the minimum is not met.
