White Water Kayaking Instruction Courses

White Water Kayak Instruction Courses

Destination: White Water Adventure!

NOC's famous Paddling School makes it easier than ever to accomplish your goals when it comes to white water kayaking. Paddlers of any skill level from absolute beginners to advanced creekers can expect outstanding personal attention, safety and helpful instruction in a user-friendly format that lets you choose when to arrive! This year, we've added more week-long and weekend courses and more opportunities for our teen paddlers, so you have more opportunities to enrich your time on the river.

Any Level, Any Time, April Through September

How much time can you spend kayaking at our Paddling School?

A Weekend: Two-Day Whitewater Kayak Course
A Week: Five-Day Whitewater Kayak Course

Whichever ammount of time you choose, you can attend an NOC instructional program any week or weekend, April through September, no matter your skill level. If you've never touched a kayak paddle before, or if you're looking to master Class-IV creeking skills, we'll match you with students who share your experience level and 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.

Only Available at NOC

Some of our most popular whitewater specialty courses are still available throughout the season including:

Women Only Kayaking Clinics
Advanced Creek Week
One-Day Skills Workshops

Your NOC Kayak Instruction

Our methods of kayak instruction far exceed any other kayak 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 kayaking come to train, to learn and to share. Since our Paddling School took shape in the 70s, we have set the standard in safety and innovation. You can trust these years of experience in any NOC activity you participate in.
