The Paddle Creek Pro School employs only American Canoe Association certified instructors with a variety of backgrounds and specialties. These experienced instructors can give you the best ‘jump start’ on your life-long paddling career.
Paddle Creek Pro School offers twice-monthly paddling course days. Courses are taught on a local lake. Morning classes consist of “Quickstart your Kayak” and/or “Quickstart Your Canoe”. Students can opt to stay for an afternoon session on Flatwater Safety and Rescue for Kayak and/or Canoe.
Courses are $75 each per student and include boat and all necessary gear. Have your own boat and gear? Feel feel to bring it. We need at least two students to conduct any course. Normal class size maximums are 5 students but it may be possible to schedule larger groups in advance.
With the diversity of instructor backgrounds and interests we have, we can also work with you to put together courses on river kayaking, river canoeing, coastal kayaking, whitewater kayaking, river rescue, kayak rolling or private instruction sessions. Give us a call about interests in these more advanced specialties.
Need a guide for a river or lake trip? Our instructors are qualified group leaders for day-trips on both rivers and coastal waters.
