Discovery Camp
Overview
This five-day introductory course is dedicated to self-exploration through kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, tubing, and whitewater rafting on the Willamette and Clackamas rivers. Kids who are comfortable in water will find themselves immersed in this outdoor environment; no experience required. Discovery Camp is a perfect step up from our afterschool program, tours, or family nights and it prepares children for Adventure Camp.

Team Building Skills
Children will have the chance to work together in this socially stimulating environment by helping each other paddle, play, and clean up afterwards.
A Variety Pack of Fun
Campers will have the opportunity to try kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, rafting, and tubing on both flatwater and whitewater.
Implicit Learning
This course prioritizes fun for all ages. Campers will passively learn basic paddling skills through hands-on games.
Prepare For the Future
Paddling skills are a great basis for future internships and racing at eNRG Kayaking, all while cultivating a hobby that will last a lifetime.
