Kayak Roll Clinics

Are you interested in learning how to roll a kayak? How about a wet exit? Learn or practice wet exiting a kayak or rolling a kayak in the Aquatic Center pool! Kayaks, paddles, PFD's and instruction are provided. Whether you are an experienced paddler, or it is your first time paddling a boat, we invite you to join us in this bi-weekly opportunity.

Have you been before and want to go again? Do you just want to hang with your white water pals? Please do! This experience acts as a classroom and gathering place for all who enjoy paddling a boat!

Belay Clinics

Excited about climbing and want to learn another skill? Come join us at our belay clinics! We will teach you the basic skills you need to belay safely with common belay devices, which is a necessary skill for all climbers. Having a belay certification will allow you to belay other climbers at our wall and give you a foundation that can help as a climber!
