Instructional Programs at The Kayak Shack

To say we believe in taking a lesson when it comes to paddlesports ( or really anything for that matter) would be an understatement. There are a lot things you can make a kayak do that trying to figure out on your own may take seasons to learn; when an hour or two with a qualified instructor can get you well on your way to a much more fun, safe, and effecient experience.

We offer group lessons for complete beginners, intermediate, and advanced paddlers as well as specific programs for things such as forward stroke, rescues, rolling, etc. We even have programs geared specifcally for women and kids. Class sizes are extremely limited so reservations are generally required, although last minute bookings are sometimes available. Call us at 518.566.0505.All of these programs are explained on more detail on our calendar of events.

Private or semi-private lessons for a group you organize will offer you an even more personalized level of attention that is sure to increase your level of comprehension as well as fit your schedule if that is a concern. Our instructors are at your service all summer just call us at 518.566.0505 for details.
