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 in wheelchairs, with Muscular Dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsey 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 physical or developmental disabilities 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 a physical or developmental disability, 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.

Kelly is someone who knows the sport of kayaking and is able to teach in a safe, effective and fun way.  Not only did the girls have a total blast, but they learned the names for all parts of their kayak and equipment, how to safely enter and exit a kayak, how to help someone else who may be in trouble, what to do in inclement weather and how to best move through the water (to name a few).  We had our last Girl Scout meeting of the year last week, and when I asked the girls what their favorite experience was over the last 3 years, 75% chose kayaking.  I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

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.
