Inflatable Kayak InstructionInflatable/Duckie River Clinics (One and Two Day Trips)This clinic is great for youths through adults who like the outdoors. What’s a ducky? That’s river lingo for “inflatable kayak”. These are great little water craft for those who would love to learn to navigate the river and paddle through the rapids in command of their own craft, but are hesitant to try a hard-shell kayak just yet. A ducky trip is the perfect way for you to learn some river basics in the comfort of an open boat. Minimum age is 10, ouths must be accompanied with an adult, swimming ability is required. Choose between One and Two Day River Clinics Your best bet to progress in running rivers in a kayak is our two day Glenwood Canyon River Trip. This trip takes place on the Colorado River in and around Glenwood Canyon. The Colorado river in this area is the best place to learn how to kayak due to the warmer water and river features. Our Front Range rivers use a combination of Boulder Creek, Clear Creek, South Platte, and St. Vrain Rivers. Glenwood Canyon two day river clinics The Colorado River flowing through beautiful Glenwood Canyon is the setting for our 2 day novice river trips. The Colorado River is a large deep river with large eddies, sandy beaches and sandstone rocks. The clinic consists of continual instruction through rapids of progressing difficulty. You will learn to read the river and use currents, eddies, holes and waves to maneuver your kayak and play the river. Glenwood Canyon provides perfect class II+ deep channel rapids framed in one of the West’s most inspiring canyons. Some of the most spectacular hot springs in all of Colorado are in this Canyon, and yes, we do stop! We have several classes going at the same time to accommodate all students including youths, men and women. Boulder/Denver area one day river clinics There are four rivers in and around Boulder/Denver that we will use to teach this clinic. Due to variations in the water levels, this clinic takes place on the river that has the most ideal water level. This clinic follows the same progression as our two day Glenwood River Clinic.
