Kayaking – Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced
Kayaking at CRMS is designed to teach students of all abilities. Students learn basic skills, kayak safety, and equipment and water evaluation. Starting on the school’s ponds and progressing to local rivers, kayakers learn to roll as well as “wet exit.” The school provides equipment.

Kayaking – Competitive
Competitive kayaking is for those interested in training for kayaking competitions who can demonstrate a base level of competence in all areas of kayaking – slalom, down-river, freestyle, river running, instruction, and river rescue. Kayakers learn to build confidence with controlling their boats in chaotic situations while having a lot of fun. Students paddle four days a week and attend weekend competitions in the spring quarter. In addition, we hold the Crystal River Races adjacent to our campus in early May.
