Just because the rivers are on ice doesn’t mean the paddling fun has to stop!

Our Winter Youth Kayak Sessions are back, giving future Micro Groms, Super Groms and Teen paddlers the chance to keep moving, learning and having fun in the pool all winter long.

With guidance from our experienced instructors, each session helps build paddling skills, balance, coordination, teamwork, underwater confidence and solid boat control. All in a fun, supportive environment.

New to kayaking? Even better. No experience is necessary. Just bring your sense of adventure and we’ll handle the rest!

Keep the skills sharp. Keep the stoke high. And come spring, you’ll be ready to get back on the water.

From SJOA to the sea… this one takes “river trip” to a whole new level.

Check out Connor Page’s SJOA River to the Sea, the 3rd place winner in the Headcam Heroes category at last year's River Reels Film Competition.

It’s a front-row seat to the kind of adventure that makes you want to grab a paddle, point downstream, and see where the river takes you.

Got a story like this hiding in your camera roll? River Reels is your chance to put it on our biggest screen yet. Check it out here: https://aqoutdoors.com/pages/river-reels-film-competition
