Kids Kayak Class

skill level:   beginner
ages:   Youth in grades 3-8


Spend two action-packed half-days with Rutabaga’s expert instructors, gaining confidence, building skills, and making new friends along the way! In this fun-filled class, you’ll learn basic paddle strokes, practice water safety, play exciting games, and explore Lake Monona. Whether you’re new to kayaking or haven’t been out on the water in a while, this is the perfect place to get started and boost your paddling skills.

Note: If the wind or water quality doesn’t cooperate, we’ll use backup locations. For courses at Olbrich Park, we’ll go to Esther Beach or Rutabaga Paddlesports.
