Kayak Pool Party for persons impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder

The Autism Programs at UNM's Center for Development & Disability has partnered with New Mexico Kayak Instruction, a service provider at Camp Rising Sun, to offer two unique "Kayak Pool Parties" for all persons impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Kayaking is the perfect low-impact recreational, social and physical activity the whole family can enjoy together.  Come and observe, or come and join in the fun.

March 26th, 9 - 11am, Rio Grande Indoor Pool
April 23rd, 9 - 11am, Rio Grande Indoor Pool

Benefits include:

Wow, Kelly sure can cram a lot of information into two hours.  He answered every question I had and more. Thanks for a very informative two hours!

The combination of classroom, followed by river work was perfect.   The schedule was flexible to deal with the reality of conducting a class outdoors.  The whole experience has been informative and has helped improve my paddleing significantly.  I am more likely to continue to boat on a regular basis as a result of my experience in NMKI courses.

It is amazing to do something so challenging. I feel like I have accomplished something that I never thought possible.

This class is offered in conjunction with UNM's Health Science Center and The Autism Programs to allow young adults, 16 years old and over, to participate in a 6wk kayak instruction program. Not only will these individuals and their caregivers and peers learn to kayak, they'll also work on balance and agility skills, eye/hand coordination, social and team-building skills and will help them prepare for outdoor adventures with their families and caregivers.
