Join Nate Hanson, Josh Hall, and Todd Johnstone-Wright for a weekend of sheltered water through advanced open-water development. We aim to have fun playing in a dynamic and aesthetically striking environment, developing performance, building community, and breaking down barriers to paddlesport in small groups of eight paddlers with professional coaching.

New this year, we are offering a “New to Kayaking” track, for paddlers whose aim is to build fundamental skills with expert coaching.

We are using a “Pay What You Can” registration fee to help build a more representative paddling community.
Cost of Programming: $520 per person
Feeling Generous: $650 per person
Reduced Price for Students and Low-Income: $100-$400
