Summer Camps
Our day and sleepaway camps in Oregon City help kids enjoy the outdoors through kayaking, paddle boarding, rafting, and so much more. We are paddlers at heart, so all camps will remain focused on river stewardship and paddlesport instruction while engaging them with various themed activities.
Split into three levels, our camps are separated by age and ability to ensure all campers feel like they belong and can progress their paddling skills at their own pace. We encourage campers to take as many camps at their current level as needed before moving to the next one.
What happened to Discovery & Adventure Camps?
Our Discovery Camp is now any Level 1 Camp. Other than the 5-10 new themed activities to keep the week interesting and engaging, they are identical.
Adventure Camp is now a Level 2 Paddling Camp: White Water Leadership.

WHY OUR PADDLING CAMPS?
eNRG Kayaking prioritizes smaller camp sizes (In general, 1 instructor for every 5 students). This allows for more personalized attention to individual camper needs and interests while creating time for teachable moments throughout the day.
Our focus has always been in paddlesports! This means our camp counselors have a genuine love for paddling and the outdoors, and cannot wait to share their knowledge with their campers.
Our shop in Oregon City is perfectly situated on the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas rivers. This gives us a great location to experience both whitewater and flatwater activities, while exploring the islands, historical locks, and the great Willamette Falls.
