Kayaking For Kids and Families

Kayaking For Kids and Families

Zoar Outdoor’s family kayaking clinics are a great way for kids, teens and their families to learn to kayak together and for kids to gain confidence kayaking on their own and with others.  We emphasize having fun while teaching the basic maneuvers on flatwater before transitioning to moving water and then on to whitewater where we teach the essential river moves including eddy turns, peel outs and ferries.

Our one-day Kids’ Kayak Craze offers children ages 10-13 a chance to try whitewater kayaking in a fun learning environment designed just for them. 2-day Parent/Child clinics are also a fun way to participate with your child as you learn kayaking together. Kids and teens who want a full week of kayaking instruction love our 4-day Teen Kayak Week or our 5-day Family Kayak Week which can accommodate gung-ho beginning kayakers as well as more cautious family members.
