Have your youth master the skills of river navigation right here on the James River
RVA Paddlesports aims to engage Richmond’s community with the biggest asset of our backyard: the James River!
We are excited to bring all of our offerings into a weeklong summer camp for youth ages 10-15 years old. Junior River Guide Camp will challenge your child to excel in whitewater navigation on the Upper & Lower James in inflatable kayaks and rafts.
Participants will join certified staff on an adventure on the James. Over the course of the week, participants will develop boat navigation and leadership skills to eventually be able to guide a raft of peers down the Lower James in Richmond, Virginia. Our professional staff will be with them along the way coaching their processes and empowering them to take charge of their boats.
Here are a few activities to expect:
- Swimming
- Inflatable Kayaking
- Whitewater Rafting
- Swiftwater Rescue Skills
- Leadership & Guiding Skills
Participants will have opportunities to practice and develop real life skills in both CPR & Swiftwater Rescue from our certified instructors.
Adventure awaits this summer on the James. No experience necessary, stoke level mandatory.
