Kids Camps

5 Day Intermediate Teen Kayaking Camp

Prerequisites:  5 Day Beginner Youth Paddling Camp or equivalent

$425/person
Ages 12-17

This is for those kids who already have some proficiency and experience with whitewater kayaking. If you enjoy kayaking and really want to increase your skills this camp is for you. We spend five days kayaking rivers on the Front Range.

Itinerary
Day 1 
Day one we will spend on the Platte River at Union Cutes. The focus of this class is to get to know everyone and find out what each students kayaking ability is.  We spend the entire day practicing drills and playing adventure games.  Students will begin to learn the importance of team work and relying on others.
Day 2 
Day two we will spend in Golden at the Whitewater Park.  Here we will fine tune some skills and practice maneuvering through slalom gates.  Students will practice rescue and safety scenarios. We will also practice rolling. At the end of the day we will talk about what is needed for the upcoming three.
Day 3-5 will be determined on water flow and groups ability.
