About This Adventure
About
Each session is Monday - Thursday Kayak or Paddleboard at Quail Creek State Park! Our trained and licensed instructors will teach proper paddling technique, water safety, situational awareness, and self-rescue methods in a format that involves both cooperative and competitive play! Includes mini guided tours to different locations around Quail and learning a little about the history, wildlife and petroglyphs that make Quail Lake unique. At the end of the camp the kids will be emailed a video of themselves paddling the first day and a video of the last day to compare the improvement on their paddling technique. Challenging and FUN!
