Every Age Is Welcome On the Water

Family Kayak welcomes every age. If you’re bringing a kid 14 or younger, they’ll need an adult along with them. Guides from 37 North Expeditions teach you the fundamentals of kayaking in a setting made for first-time paddlers.

Gear Up Before You Go

Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own if you’d rather use familiar gear. Pack water, sunscreen, and shoes and clothes suited to the weather. A hat’s recommended too. If you bring your own equipment, getting it to and from the pavilion is on you.
