Wilderness Voyageurs' Kayak School
Intermediate to Advanced Instruction


Class II-V Kayak Instruction Advanced clinics: Creeking on the Upper Yough, Playboating. You've been paddling class III, are feeling more and more comfortable and think it's time to step it up a notch. Paddling in this area offers great opportunities - there are numerous creeks and of course, the east coast gem of creeking: the Upper Yough. With releases every Monday, Friday and Saturday, it is guaranteed paddling! Of course, you might not quite be ready for the Upper Yough, but would really like to bombproof your roll, work on your boof, refine your strokes and generally just start preparing for the next step. That is where we come into the picture. Wilderness Voyageur's instructors are passionate about teaching and helping paddlers develop their skills.

Or...do you just want to run waterfalls?? Take part in our Running Waterfalls Clinic on Valley Falls, WV
Paddling up to the lip of a waterfall might be one of the coolest things you can do in your kayak as well as one of the scariest. Join our instruction staff for a day clinic on running waterfalls on nearby Valley Falls. You’ll learn how to approach, take-off and land over different types of waterfalls as well as log in as many runs as you can possibly manage in one day due to the convenience the site offers. Practice makes perfect so you can be confident on that 20-footer drop you’ve wanted to style.

“Over the Falls” clinic: Our special 1 day only over the falls clinic run by industry pros from Werner Paddles, Liquid Logic and Pyranha. Join us June 22, the day after our 7th annual Beer and gear fest, for a falls clinic over the Ohiopyle Falls. This is a rare opportunity!
