Kayaking for Families & Kids - a FREE clinic at REI Albuquerque
I'm often asked "How do I teach my kids to kayak? What age should they start kayaking? How do I teach them to have fun and to not be afraid? How do I keep them interested? Where do I find other parents and families to paddle with??" Kayaking 4 Kids will answer all of these questions, and many more. Kayaking is something the whole family can do together. When introduced correctly, your kids will look forward to paddling with enthusiasm and excitement!
We'll watch and discuss the recently released instructional video "Paddle Monsters." This video includes two sections;
- A section for parents on how to introduce your kids to the sport of kayaking, and
- An instructional section for kids, taught by kids!
After reviewing the video, we'll have time for questions and answers and general discussions.
This class is for Parents, Scout Leaders, Youth Group Leaders, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents....and of course, Kids!
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!
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.
