Welcome to the ‘Oxford', the ‘Harvard', the ‘Juilliard' of whitewater paddling, NOC's Paddling School! We make it easier than ever to accomplish your goals when it comes to white water canoeing, or open boating, as we like to call it. Absolute beginners through advanced pairs can expect an outstanding level of personal attention, safety and quality instruction in a user-friendly format that gives you more opportunities than ever to learn whitewater canoeing. You'll see why so many have called NOC the best over the years.
Weekend and Week-long Courses All Summer
How much time can you spend learning to canoe at our Paddling School?
Whichever you choose, you can attend a program April through September, no matter your skill level. If you've never sat in a canoe saddle before, or if you're looking to master Class-IV skills, we'll match you with students who share your goals, and instructors who can take you there!
It's the most flexible whitewater instruction format in the country, and it's available exclusively at NOC's Paddling School.
Your NOC Canoe Instruction
Our methods of canoe instruction far exceed any other paddling school in the nation. We are fortunate enough to have more than 35 years experience under our belts as the place where the top names in whitewater come to train, to learn and to share. Since our first year, canoe programs have been a part of NOC's offerings.
