WHITEWATER KAYAKING INSTRUCTION

A whitewater kayaking lesson with Kokopelli's kayak school is a challenging and rewarding experience. We teach whitewater kayaking lessons for beginner to advanced paddlers focusing on teaching the correct kayaking techniques the first time so bad habits don't develop. Learn to kayak in a two day River Kayaking Level 1 or a multi-day campout Whitewater Kayaking Immersion. Our highly-qualified American Canoe Association (ACA) certified instructors help you get comfortable with kayaking basics and move forward safely to a lifetime of fun!

Learn calm water paddling techniques and enjoy fishing and birdwatching from your kayak.

LEARN TO PADDLE A TOURING KAYAK, SEA KAYAK, OR SIT-ON-TOP KAYAK

Because not everyone is into the thrill of whitewater, learn to paddle a sea kayak, recreational touring kayak, or a sit-on-top kayak. Kayak touring is the fastest growing form of kayaking today! Learn to paddle on pristine high mountain lakes, calm moving water, access hidden coves, and lazy rivers. We teach two sea kayaking courses: Recreational Kayaking Skills which is geared to the recreational boater who is interested in paddling on lakes for birdwatching, fishing, or just relaxing. Touring Kayak Skills is for those interested in learning open water rescue and basic navigation skills. No experience is required for either of these courses.

ASHLAND, OREGON RIVER CENTER

Kokopelli River Center is located in beautiful Ashland, Oregon at the base of the Siskiyou Mountains and is a short drive to Medford, Oregon and the California border. Kokopelli River Center is exactly that, a center for paddling adventures and learning. We are Southern Oregon's and Ashland's only paddlesports retailer and carry kayaking gear, kayaks, rafting gear, and paddling apparel. We also rent kayaks and rafts from the shop.
