PADDLE SCHOOL

DVK will teach you how to kayak, raft, and standup paddleboard.  Our Paddling School has a variety of programs to fit your needs. Our paddling clinics vary from a half-day introductory lake session covering basic kayaking, stand up paddling, or rafting in Colorado waters. We even offer 12-day paddling intensive course, and recommend at least a 3-7 day clinic to get the most value from your time on the water.

We will teach you the strokes and strategies you’ll need to learn how to guide yourself or others through flat-water or rapids. This is a unique and exhilarating way of learning and experiencing the water regardless of age or previous level of paddling.

You can also choose the craft of your choice, kayak, SUP, raft, or all 3! Our instructors are happy to share with you their knowledge about the most efficient techniques and important judgment calls you need to know to be a safe and proficient boater.

Private Instruction can be arranged for those looking to fine-tune your paddling skills.

NOTE:  All of our whitewater rafting trips also include the instructional option as an add-on.
