This class is the first step in learning to kayak as well as building and maintaining essential skills necessary to be successful and safe in whitewater.

Outdoor Chattanooga’s Rapid Learning program offers formal instruction in the exciting sport of whitewater kayaking. Course content follows American Canoe Association standards and our certified lead instructors provide what is necessary to get started in this exciting sport. Equipment is provided. The program is appropriate for ages 8 and up and is family friendly. During the summer season, instructional river trips are also provided.

Introduction to Kayaking and Skills Practices are held during the winter months at Southern Adventist University’s Hulsey Wellness Center in the indoor swimming pool on Tuesdays with two sessions 7 pm to 8 pm and 8 pm to 9 pm. Current members also have the opportunity to visit UTC’s lazy river for a unique skills practice.

During the warmer months May through end of September, classes are held weekly on Wednesdays at Hamilton County’s Chester Frost Park on the Chickamauga Lake in Hixson, TN. Come early for session ONE  from 6pm to 7pm or enjoy our SECOND sessions from 7pm to 8pm.
