Custom Paddlesports Instruction

Custom Clinic Info

If you prefer individualized attention from your kayak, canoe, or stand-up-paddleboard instructor, or have a group, family, limited dates, or other instruction needs, a specialized custom tailored clinic could be ideal. We regularly run custom clinics as small as one person or as large as twelve people. To set up your custom clinic follow these simple steps:

  • Come up with the skills you want to work on and the date(s) that work best for you.
  • Call our reservation office at 413-339-4010 and let us know what you want to work on and your preferred dates, or fill out our Custom Clinic Request Form and submit it online.
  • We will work to set up an instructor for your clinic and get back to you to book the clinic.

Please note that we cannot fill all custom requests due to instructor availability. The more lead time and possible dates you can give us, the better your chances of being able to book a custom clinic. On busier days, we may ask you to provide a vehicle capable of carrying the instructor, students, boats, and gear.

We suggest that beginner paddlers take our scheduled Beginner Kayak or Canoe clinics because of the opportunity they provide to learn with other beginners and acquire a complete background in the sport.

Lunch Policy

We provide a catered picnic-style lunch on all our full day clinics.

The following statement is required by state law: Before placing your order, please inform your server if a person in your party has a food allergy.

We do not use nuts in our food, but can not guarantee that the ingredients in our meals do not contain nuts or other food allergens.

If you have food allergies or other special dietary needs, we strongly suggest you bring your own bag lunch in non-glass containers and we will pack it with the other lunches on your trip. Please inform our office at 413-339-4010 or [email protected] if you intend to do this.
