Youth Paddling Development

The ACA is committed to providing the youth of today and tomorrow with the opportunity of experiencing the outdoors via a canoe, kayak, stand up paddleboard, or raft. Having fun (and teaching safety), in and around water is a vital component of any paddlesports youth education program. Children are not only the future of paddlesports, they are also the future stewards of our rivers, lakes, streams, seas, and oceans.
