XYM White Water Kayaking

Our mainstream white water kayaking program teaches all the basics for entry in this exciting and challenging sport. Participants in this program will learn all skills necessary to safely paddle class 3 white water. This includes instruction on wave surfing, rolling and bracing and navigating in moving water.

The first two sessions are spent on flat water learning how to exit and control a white water kayak. Time is also spent learning to roll your kayak.

The next four sessions will be spent learning to paddle and control a white water boat in moving water. Time is spent both on local creeks and on the Susquehanna river.

The graduation trip is a full day trip down a beautiful local creek with class 2 and 3 rapids.

Graduates from our mainstream kayaking program can participate in follow up activities including earning their own kayak and additional trips.
