Canoe & Kayak InstructorS

Canoeing can open up a whole new world for you!

Flat and Moving Water Canoe Instruction

Do you enjoy the outdoors? Canoeing across a placid lake in the Boundary Waters as a loon calls to its mate. Running Section IV of the Chatooga River with Burt Reynolds. Sea Kayaking around Assateaque Island, watching the wild horses.

Join the Canoe Cruisers Association to develop your canoe paddling skills. We will introduce you to the skills you need to paddle around Dyke Marsh bird watching or run whitewater rapids with style, control, and a big smile.

All you need is enthusiasm, and CCA instruction.

The CCA supports:

• FLATWATER CANOE LESSONS
• WHITEWATER CANOE LESSONS
• SEA KAYAKING LESSONS
• SAFETY CLINICS
