Kayak Lessons at the Lake - Fall 2024

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR FALL 2024 KAYAKING LESSONS (SEPTEMBER THROUGH OCTOBER)!

Our beginner youth programs are based at Cultus Lake where our Boathouse is located. Levels 1 and 2 are taught on flatwater by our experienced, NCCP certified staff. All equipment is provided.

Our whitewater programs are taught on moving water. The exact location of the lessons will be determined based on water levels. Typically these lessons are taught on the Chilliwack River, the Highway Gates (near Cedarwal Farms) or the Hope Slough. Levels 4 through 6 often consist of short river runs and park n play sessions where learners learn to play in the eddy’s.
