WHAT WE LEARN WITH PLEASURE
we never forget
Nationally Certified
Instruction
We offer introductory and intermediate courses aligned with the American Canoe Association (ACA) curriculum. With certifications in various paddling disciplines such as recreational and moving-water kayaking, paddleboarding, and canoeing, our team takes pride in promoting water safety while enabling others to enjoy paddlesport experiences.
Collaborating with Community Education of the Black Hills and Rapid City Aquatics, we conduct indoor group sessions at the swim center in the winter. During the summer, we provide both group and private lessons. Explore our calendar for details on upcoming events.
