Kid Crazy Kayak Camp
Ages 6-10

Kids are natural born paddlers so let them learn while they have fun in the sun.
High Level Canoes and Kayaks starts the kids off early with the goal of learning to love the water through the thrills of kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding.

This is a one day summer camp that runs from 9:00am-3pm at Park Lake. We will be meeting at the High Level store at 9:00am where the kids will be outfitted with all their gear. From here they will be transported to Park Lake by our staff where they will spend the day, returning to the store at 3:00pm. In this session our goal is to give the kids the experience of a variety of paddling skills in a safe and fun approach. Basic flatwater kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddle boarding are what we will be teaching and will ensure the kids get a taste of paddling activities available to all ages.

The certified instructors at High Level Canoes and Kayaks are trained in instructing paddlers of all ages and will lead the kids through age related skills an drills with lots of thrills. At the same time we strive to instill upon all participants the importance of safe paddling in all water related activities.
