General itinerary
The day begins at eNRG Kayaking’s Oregon City shop on the Willamette River. We will outfit all participants with kayaks, paddles, and paddle gear before heading out. From there we will head to the Carver put-in on the Clackamas river. The morning will be spent reviewing basic strokes, rescue techniques, and practice river maneuvering. As we progress we will work on more advanced techniques such as surfing, large ferries, and catching small eddies. We will stop for sack lunch at Riverside park, and then continue down towards Clackamette park. If time allows, we will cover basic river rescue techniques and practice rolling. The day will conclude with a debrief and personalized next steps for each paddler.
