Looking forward to seeing you at our first webinar of the 2025-2026 season in November 2025.
Join us for a fun and inspiring webinar learning about two successful high school paddling programs!
Teachers from two different schools will share how they got their students out paddling, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and how you can build a program that fits your school.
Learn some practical tips for getting started, keeping students engaged, and making paddling a meaningful part of your outdoor or athletic offerings.
