Trips, Classes & Clinics
The Washington Kayak Club strives to meet the needs of its club members on many different levels. By offering beginner kayaking courses, we present an environment that is friendly to water enthusiasts emphasizing education and safety. Many of our students have embraced the sport to the point where they pursued instructor certification and are now instructors for these same classes.
We also offer follow-up training and skill enhancement clinics throughout the year to enrich a member's experience with the sport. Listed below are a few of the classes available through the club.
