 Up the Creek's kayaking lessons are
taught by expert instructors and don't end until you have learned
and actually performed every paddling technique that you want to
learn! Remember, the ability to master advanced paddling techniques
is limited only by your desires, drive, and capabilities.
Up the Creek kayaking classes are different than others you might
have heard of or done in the past. Our expert instructors and low
class sizes ensure that every class is achievement based. There are
no clocks counting down how much of your class time is left!
Each class is scheduled at least once a month and also by
appointment. Prices include kayaks and necessary equipment. All you
need is yourself and the proper clothing. Exclusive one-on-one
instruction is also available.
Call for additional details and class times. Reservations are
strongly recommended. Classes may be cancelled at the discretion of
Up the Creek due to weather or safety concerns as well as failure to
reach the minimum number of students required.
