Experience Nature in your Backyard!

RVA Paddlesports aims to engage Richmond’s community with the biggest asset of our backyard: the James River!

We offer canoeing and flatwater kayaking, whitewater paddling instruction and guided tours, as well as raft guide training and other programs geared to get our community outside. This summer, RVAPS is excited to take all of our existing programs and cater them to the next generation of paddlers.

Participants will join certified staff on an adventure on the James. Over the course of the week, participants will explore the James River Park system, and navigate the rapids of the Falls of the James. Participants will be aided by staff in expert paddle instruction, knowledge on river ecology, and first aid and safety skills.

Here are a few activities to expect:

Hiking
Swimming
Canoeing
Flatwater Kayaking
Inflatable Kayaking
Rafting

Participants will have opportunities to practice and develop real life skills and receive certifications in CPR and First Aid from our certified instructors.

Adventure awaits this summer on the James. No experience necessary, stoke level mandatory.
