Our Novice Kayaking lessons on the Deerfield River in Massachusetts give aspiring kayakers the skills, experience and confidence to learn the sport of whitewater kayaking. Learning to kayak is fun and is a great way to enjoy the outdoors together with friends or family.  There is a great sense of accomplishment as you progress from the basic strokes and maneuvers to running class II rapids with control and confidence. Our friendly professional kayak instructors teach proper stroke techniques as well as responsible whitewater kayaking practices.

We also offer specialized novice kayak clinics that allow you to learn in an atmosphere of your choosing.  Our Womens' clinics provide the camaraderie and support of a single-sex learning environment.

“Thanks Dale and Scott for a great time at the kayaking clinic.  You folks did a super job with all the students.  Sue and I have enjoyed the outdoors together for over 26 years.  This was the best 3 days we ever had!”
