Our kayaking program is our most popular and easiest boating program. Tandem boats, pontoons, and seats with head and side support are some of our most popular adaptations.
Paddlers and lifeguards go out together as a group, and move at the pace of the slowest paddler. Our kayaking sessions usually last for an hour, though longer day trips are sometimes available. The cost for most programs is $5 or $10.
Kayakers must sign a release form and meet our essential eligibility criteria for paddling.
This seasonal program runs from July–September each year. Our 2019 summer dates will be released in May 2019. To get on our mailing list to be notified of upcoming program dates, please contact us.
