Description:

Whether you are a true beginner or have experience on the water, we have something that will keep campers active, busy, and having fun! Paddling programs at DSBG build confidence, new skills, education about their water resources and the environment, and will create memories that your kids will remember for their entire life!

Our professional instructors provide summer campers with top-level kayaking lessons and equipment to learn with, while maintaining a supportive and fun environment on the water. Give your young paddlers a reason to unplug and advance their skills this summer!

As we build confidence and time on the water, we will take field trips to local paddling hot spots to build skills and experience new areas!
