Kayak Instruction

Our introduction to kayaking meets in Leavenworth. After going over basic knowledge, terminology, and gear we get the boat adjusted to your body type. Start by sitting in the boat on dry land and get a comfortable. Once we put into the river there is slow moving water to start practicing balance and paddling. Once the student is comfortable we will slowly continue downstream going over the basics. There will be an oppurtunity to try an eskimo roll. The instructor will stand in the river next to your boat and help you go through the motions, as well as be there to turn you right side up. This trip is available April through September.

Should you choose to do a 2-Day instruction we will review the 1st day and practice rolling the boat. Depending on skill / comfort levels we will either paddle the Cashmere to Monitor section of river or we can do the Upper Wenatchee from the lake to Plain.

Multi-day Kayak Instruction

Multi-Day kayak trips are the best way to become a kayaker. Our course starts in the pool and gradually progresses through different sections of the river. Start in calm water and then moving water followed by class 1 and 2 rapids working your way up to class 3 whitewater. Need a place to stay while learning to kayak? You can either camp at the KOA or up Icicle Canyon. Ask about our hotel deals for a 1 or 2 nights stay.
