The Waypoint Outdoor Kayaking program will give you and your group access to some of New England’s most beautiful lakes, rivers, and coastline. Enjoy the fun and serenity of the water all while being a part of a supportive community. Benefit from the wide array of adaptive kayaking equipment designed to meet your individual needs. Our highly trained staff will instruct, support, and encourage you as you learn new skills or further develop your existing ones. All kayaking programs will be custom designed to fit the needs of you and your group.

Based on the goals of a Beginner Kayaking program, this type of session could have the following qualities based on the enrollment of the group: (1) It could consist of individuals who are brand new to the sport of kayaking. They’ve either never been kayaking, never been in or around water, or have only had the experience a few times. (2) It could also consist of individuals who are at a beginner level in terms of social interaction, have a need for repetition of instructions, or would benefit from 1:1 support. (3) It could consist of kayakers under the age of 16. Trips may be a shorter distance of paddling (approximately 2 miles), shorter duration (approximately 2 hours), and/or have a higher staff/volunteer: participant ratio.

Fee: $10 per person
