Whitewater Kayaking Lessons, Flatwater Kayaking Lessons, and Paddle Boarding Lessons

Enroll in our immersive kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) classes to build your confidence on the water and make the most of Central Oregon’s waterways and beyond! Whether you’re new to paddling or looking to build on existing skills, our lessons cover a range of paddle disciplines, from whitewater and flatwater kayaking to paddle boarding. Our seasoned, expert instructors teach you the techniques, self-rescue, and safety practices to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.

The Basic Skills Flatwater Kayaking Class will equip you with the confidence to explore the serene lakes and gentle rivers of Central Oregon.
Our Intermediate Skills Kayaking Class offers established paddlers guidance on honing their rescue techniques, paddle finesse, and proficiency in handling challenging waters. (This course is a prerequisite for Tumalo Creek’s San Juan Islands sea kayaking tours.)

For those who crave the thrill of whitewater kayaking, check out our Full Immersion Whitewater Weekend, Intermediate Whitewater Weekend, and Lower Deschutes River Whitewater Kayaking Camp. We also facilitate pool roll sessions/lessons, and an ACA Swiftwater Rescue Workshop (see below for details).

Our whitewater and flatwater paddle boarding courses include the Intro to Whitewater SUP Weekend and Basic Skills Standup Paddleboard Class.
