Intro to paddling

Want to learn to paddle the right way? Sign up for an Intro to Kayaking class taught by a certified ACA instructor. This five-hour class includes about two hours of land-based paddling instruction followed by a short lunch break (bring your own), then a two-and-a-half-hour paddle on a 4-mile stretch of the Upper Jackson River to work on your paddling skills. This trip is great for first-time paddlers or those who have paddled some but are now ready for a class to better enjoy your days on the river. This class is highly informative and fun!

The class includes five hours of instruction and practice in a classroom and on the river. All kayaks, PFDs, and equipment are provided. We cover many elements of the ACA Quick Start class.
