Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 "Open House" - Adaptive Paddling for kids & adults with Autism
Join Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 for an Adaptive Kayaking
Open House!
Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 and New Mexico Kayak Instruction, Inc invite kids, adults and families from the Autism community for an Open House day of Adaptive Kayaking at Los Altos Pool.
The goal of this informal Open House event is to expose individuals with Autism and their families to adaptive kayaking in a familiar, controlled environment, meet our instructors and volunteers, and find out about upcoming opportunities with our corporate sponsor, Hotel Cascada.
To find out about upcoming adaptive kayaking and fundraising events at Hotel Cascada, please join our mailing list so we can keep you informed directly.
Coming soon to Hotel Cascada!
Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 is pleased to announce corporate sponsorship from The Hotel Cascada. Imagine being a child or young adult with Autism, learning to kayak in a familiar, controlled (but exciting) environment, like the 'lazy river,' or under the waterfalls, around the spray features or any of the 26 water-play features. Imagine sliding down the 237ft enclosed waterslide or surfing on the "flow-rider" when they're not kayaking in the pool. All of that will soon be possible.
Sign up for our mailing list today to be the first to know about upcoming "adaptive" opportunities at Hotel Cascada.

I was excited to take the pool class, even though a few friends ridiculed taking a kayak class ("What's so hard about kayaking?!"). The whitewater clinic presented challenges I was not expecting (physically, mentally or emotionally), and it heightened my awareness of the river, the sport, challenges and myself. It has taken me a week to process this experience, and I welcome the time it will take to continue to process both the instruction and personal learned experience. This course was positively intense!
You guys rock!!! I couldn't wait another minute to tell you how much fun the girls had last night! What a great lesson! We didn't even need the games because they enjoyed what they were doing so much. One of the coolest things was seeing girls who were a little bit timid, feel comfortable enough to try things that they normally wouldn't have tried. What a great time! Well done all!
