During the day, your instructors will teach you the paddling skills required to successfully read and navigate rapids. Our home for the clinic is a beautiful rustic campground, right on the banks of the Rogue River in Oregon – far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Afternoons, after we return from kayaking, enjoy the restful accommodations  of Indian Mary Park.  Hike or relax riverside with a book and your favorite beverage while ospreys fish in the pool near our camp! Stroll on the green grass, play a round of disk golf, or rally some teammates for a volleyball tournament. Indian Mary park features hot showers, and a lush, beautiful landscape.

At night, you’ll enjoy stargazing and socializing at Indian Mary campground, on the banks of the Rogue River. Recount stories from the day’s adventures around the fire, while Sundance chefs prepare dinner.

This clinic is intended for women of various skill levels!

The Rogue River has lots of different sections to choose from rated class I-III. Each day we will run a different section of the Rogue River, depending on your goals and skill level. If you have never kayaked before, you will start by being introduced to whitewater kayaks and paddling gear. You’ll discover you can easily get out of the boat and we’ll learn a few basic strokes to put you in control. If you are already paddling and are looking to refine your paddling technique and improve your confidence on the river, you will begin with a kayaking skills assessment and review, we’ll refine some of the basics and start working on you goals!

It’s true that women and men learn differently

Learning in an all-female environment, allows women to work at their own pace in a supportive and friendly group setting. As the days progress, we will build your repertoire of strokes and maneuvers, while strengthening your foundation of basic technique. With supportive, enthusiastic kayak instructors at your side, you’ll be free to try new things and experiment. Start playing in the rapids and learn your limits of stability, risking tip-overs and discovering the fun and excitement the river holds. We’ll help you anticipate your next move and react to each and every wave, building the skills and confidence you need to start running rapids!
