Welcome to WeKanu! Canoes and kayaks offer great recreational, nature and fitness experiences. We serve the staffs of camps, outfitters, paddlesport retailers, outdoor ed programs and other groups of paddling enthusiasts who are seeking higher levels of knowledge and mastery in canoe and kayak through Instructor Certification or on-water safety clinics.
As certified Instructor Trainers through the American Canoe Association we offer these programs as well as web based resources for anyone to use (Places to Paddle; List of area Instructors).
We highly recommend anyone on our list of instructors (certified by WEKANU ) as a resource for paddle instruction and safety. Be sure to check our list of instructors, to find a certified instructor near you!
Our commitment is to training those who will help others to have richer and safer paddling experiences.
Happy Paddling!
