It’s a no-brainer: today’s youth are the future of paddle sports! How do we engage & enlist younger people? Whitecap Kayak has been a business that has existed for the purpose of mentoring teenagers in the life skills & personal development of leadership & interpersonal communication through being trained as kayak guides & instructors. For 22 years, Whitecap Kayak has worked with teens & college age adults. We’ll share the Whitecap Kayak story, not so much as a model, but as an example that can hopefully inspire others to find ways to engage youth! We’ll also emphasize the considerable benefit paddling as teenagers has to life later as an adult.
