Beginning on flat water using games and play, kids will learn strokes and skills to help them successfully manoeuvre their kayaks. Games will increase in challenge to the point where participants will be encouraged to take risks and capsize (wet exit). A strong emphasis will be placed on gradual progression as well as "challenge by choice."
