Learn basic paddling skills while kayaking on the Delaware Canal. We’ll start out on land to familiarize ourselves with the parts of a kayak, basic paddling technique and water safety, then take to the water to try out what we’ve learned.

Kayaks, paddles, and personal flotation devices will be provided. This program is an ideal way to learn the skills you’ll need to kayak on your own or join us again for a longer paddle of the canal or river.

Most available boats are single kayaks, but we do have one tandem kayak available which may be requested ahead of time.

There is a $5 per person suggested donation for this program. Space is limited, so please register in advance (ages 10 and up only). More details including meeting location will be emailed upon registration.
