Whitewater Kayak and Canoe Instruction
Welcome to Our New Approach to Paddling School
We're looking ahead to big changes in 2009. The Paddling School will offer the same great kayak paddling and canoe paddling instruction that has made us famous in a new, user-friendly format. Whether you've never sat in a kayak or you're looking to master Class-IV river skills, we've made it easier to get the instruction you're looking for. We'll offer two-day weekend courses and five-day week-long courses for every craft and every level, May through August. Come learn the skills to accomplish your goals, when you're able to get here! It's the most flexible whitewater instruction format in the country, and it's available exclusively at NOC's Paddling School. A Tradition of Excellence
At NOC, we've been setting the industry standard in white water paddling instruction for more than 35 years. It's no surprise that we were dubbed "The Nation's Premier Paddling School" by The New York Times and "The Best Outfitter on Earth" by National Geographic Adventure. Our Paddling School is designed for everyone, from first-timers who have never been in a boat, to advanced paddlers looking to refine their skills. Our on-river safety and expertise combined with first-rate amenities make your experience here unforgettable.
