Our “Indoor/Outdoor Membership Package” gives you two years to master whitewater kayaking at your own pace, and all without owning your own gear! We really care about helping everyone learn, including the “slow learners”. Here’s what you get when you purchase the “Winter Package”:

Enjoy over two years of member benefits*, including:

  1. Two Indoor Pool Rolling Lessons (November-April)
  2. Three outdoor lessons (May-September)
  3. FREE Coached Weeknight practice with social hour afterward (May-September)
  4. All kayak equipment (kayak, paddle, pfd, helmet, and skirt for classes & practice)
  5. One FREE pair of kayaker’s nose plugs

Over a two-year period, our five courses offer a comprehensive whitewater experience in D.C., with the option to go at your own pace or practice at our free weekly practice nights. All equipment is provided, and we take a hands-on approach, often standing in the water next to you and moving your body for you. Our friendly community of paddlers has developed over the years, making you lifelong friends and paddling buddies. Our friendly, non-intimidating approach has made us the top whitewater program in the region, and many students have found this their best decision since moving to DC.
