Beginning Kayak Instruction For Everyone!
2009 Moving Water Dates: Projected Dates Online By October 15.  (Rain Dependant)
We also
do Spontaneous Scheduling For Just After Every Rain Storm.  Call for more info! 

Guided instruction and instructional tours replace our sightseeing tours and rentals during seasonally high river flows.


Some Classes Are Only Offered Shortly After Seasonal Rains. No Classes are offered during rain storm periods: Classes restart as soon as river debris clears, when current and river height drops below flood levels, and routes have been re-scouted for hazards.   Expect Periodic Reschedules In Rainy Season To Take Advantage Of The Best Moving Water Flows.
