Welcome to Wolf Whitewater School! Wolf Whitewater invites you to join our Nationally Certified staff for an exciting river adventure. Paddle sports can be enjoyed by anyone in average physical condition. Wolf's teaching progression helps beginners establish a solid foundation by starting kayakers off in the comfort of a heated swimming pool. Our instructors take you through a step-by-step approach to learning basic paddling strokes, rescue techniques and rolls so that you can easily take the next step - the two day river trip where you will ultimately meet the river on your own terms, seek and explore your own limits. The most suprising part is how little time it takes to make tremendous progress when you learn from our teaching team. You get a lot of personal attention because we limit the size of our classes. Safety, education and enjoyment are the cornerstones of our program. If you want a program to take you away from the ordinary, allow Wolf Whitewater to introduce you to the extraordinary with just "a touch of the wild."

One Day Kayak Clinics--by appointment   Our one day on-the-water clinics give you the chance to have a lot of fun while at the same time, giving you the opportunity to hone your whitewater skills under the eye of an experienced instructor.  These clinics are designed for those who have taken our beginners course, or the equivalent in kayaking or canoeing, and want an additional day on the river to work on basic skills and techniques.  We review all the basic river maneuvers and introduce some surfing and playboating techniques.
