We’ll teach you all about wearing a sprayskirt and help you improve your self and assisted rescue skills, as well as your advanced strokes and maneuvers.
You have up to two years to complete the three lessons. Kayak, paddle, PFD, skirt, and rescue equipment are provided. Read all of the individual course descriptions, location info, and what to bring below.

BEGINNER LESSON 1
Sprayskirts, Wet Exits, and Bow Rescues
Wearing a spray skirt keeps the water out of the kayak and the heat in and gives kayakers an advantage in the event of an accidental capsize. Spraykirts add another dimension of safety awareness and this 3-hour lesson will teach you how to stay calm once capsized and how to comfortably exit by pulling the grab loop. Once you’re oriented to these skills, you’ll practice rescuing with a partner without exiting the kayak, which is a building block for eventually learning to roll.
BEGINNER LESSON 2
Edging, Advanced Strokes, and Maneuvers
Learn the relationship between edging the kayak and making more efficient turns, and all the wonderful advanced strokes that make you a more maneuverable and capable kayaker in all conditions in this 3-hour course.
INTERMEDIATE LESSON 3
Open Water Paddling and Rescues
Learn how to paddle in proper formation and other safety considerations as we venture out into an open section of the Potomac seeking a bit of wind and chop to test all of the paddling and recue skills we have learned in the preceding 5 lessons of the Adventure Kayaking Program.
FAQs
Feeling uncertain about how the beginner adventure kayaking lessons work? Find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions below!
Can I just sign up for a single lesson or do I have to purchase the complete package?
Yes! The package is a better value if you were to do all of the trips, but you can sign up for a single tour, if desired. Just go to our registration page and you can purchase a single trip.
Do I have to do the lessons in any specific order?
No! You can do any trip at any time—no specific order required! : )
Is there a time limit, or can I do all three lessons in a sprint?
Yes! You can do all three lessons as quickly as you’d like. Alternately, if you’d like to stretch them out, you can take up to two years to complete them all. We’re flexible and it’s up to you!
