Get good exercise while enjoying the peace and quiet of nature on the Tualatin River. If you're new to paddling or just want to hone your skills, this class will provide you with the knowledge and paddling skills to comfortably participate in future flat water kayaking experiences.

Kayak paddle lessons introduce you to the flat water paddling strokes that will move you forward, backward, and allow you to make turns.

To encourage and maintain safety, class is limited to 10 participants. These first sets of paddle lessons are open to Tualatin Riverkeepers Members only. If you're interested in becoming a member, check out our website at tualatinriverkeepers.org/get-involved/membership.
