YOUTH KAYAK TEAM DETAILS
Anyone can learn how to kayak! Just bring a positive attitude and we’ll provide the rest! eNRG Kayaking runs a year-round whitewater kayak team based out of Oregon City. The team focuses on instruction while building leadership and risk management skills. This means we hand-select students to try out for the team based on their discipline and willingness to learn (NOT based on skill – that’s our job to teach them). We also offer optional internships and further development in the Olympic discipline of slalom racing. Activities for paddlers of all skill levels include – river runs, after school practices, pool classes, and local/national/international road trips.
We offer normal per session pricing to be paid monthly:
$165/river run
$30/after school practice
$50/pool session
