| Kayak Sampler |
No Experience Needed!!
Kayaking is one of the country's fastest growing water sports. Boats are light and easily transported by car, and innovations in gear design have made paddling a three-season sport. Best of all, after an initial investment in equipment and instruction, costs are minimal. These courses are for those who want an active, participatory kayak experience to see if they want to sign up for a multi-day instructional course. Rates

| Beginner River Sampler |
|
|
This clinic goes straight to ACE's own private beach on the scenic New River. The location is next to a class II rapid and a large, friendly eddy. The setting is ideal for beginners who want hands-on learning in moving water on their first day in a kayak. We concentrate on strokes, peel-outs, bracing and other important beginner skills. We eat lunch by the river, and then spend the second part of the day working on river running skills.

| Rapid Experience Sampler |
Self-draining kayaks take the emphasis off the Eskimo roll and wet exit to let you spend more time focusing on the rapids. We give you hands-on experience and training, right on the river, running rapids and having fun. This allows us to take you through a faster learning curve and get you on more exciting whitewater, typically quicker than in the traditional kayak clinics. This course is for those who desire an active, participatory kayaking experience to see if they want to sign up for other multi-day kayak instructional courses that ACE offers. Class II+ rapids.

| Touring Sampler |
Kayak Touring ("Sea Kayaking") is the fastest growing area in the sport of kayaking. Because the boats are stable, easy to paddle in a straight line and fast, they provide the easiest method to gain access to some of the country's most beautiful bodies of water. At ACE, you can enjoy a half day of exploring the inlets on a remote and scenic lake, and learn the basic techniques of boat handling.
