Youth Kayaking  (Ages 11–16) (4 week course)

Led by qualified instructors, you’ll do a quick review of what was taught in the introductory course.   The instructor will go over the skills and refine the technique used.   Then through drills and skill-based games the skills will become second nature.   Work will be done on the power and delivery of the strokes and timing.   Skills to surf, do eddy turns or just turn faster and cleaner will be worked on.   Even a few playboat moves like pivot turns will be touched on.
