These weekly clinics are designed to teach the basics of kayaking. With an emphasis on whitewater kayaking, the skills that are taught in these clinics are transferable to other types of kayaking. Instruction includes outfitting your kayak, exiting the kayak safely, paddle strokes and rescues.
Lead Climbing Workshops
Our lead classes provide an introduction to indoor sport climbing. Previous climbing experience is required; participants should be comfortable climbing a 5.9 at our facility. The course will cover the basics of lead climbing including clipping quickdraws and lead belaying. We place a strong emphasis on safety and risk management including proper lead climbing falls.
Fitness for Climbing
This workshop will provide you with some training exercises focused on improving your climbing fitness.

We’ll utilize a variety of training techniques to give you options to turn your climbing session into a full body workout.
