Ready to get started with kayaking?
In this beginner-friendly class, you'll learn the essential skills for paddling on flatwater like the beautiful Tualatin River.

You'll have plenty of time to practice your new skills on the water.
This class is great for individuals or partners. Solo and tandem kayaks are available. The boat, paddle, and life jacket are provided.
