Ladies will perfect their paddling skills with outdoor DIVAS new kayaking camp

WHAT: Outdoor DIVAS has revamped their women’s kayak program and are offering a 6 day progressive camp over three weeks that will get women to the next level.

Women will leave with the knowledge and skills to venture out and paddle with girlfriends safely and confidently. The kayak DIVAS camp includes intensive flat water training, safety, river running, basic roll technique and drills. The camp is designed for beginners and ladies who have previously taken an intro class and have an enthusiast attitude to improve their skills.

Forget the one day teaser classes that won’t prepare you for whitewater. According to ACA (American Canoe Association) the majority of intro to kayaking students are women, but only a small % stick with the sport.

The kayak DIVAS camp is designed not only to introduce you to the sport but give you the skills to continue with the sport. The camp will consist of three Tuesday night flat water classes and three Sunday river running sessions.
