Wet
Planet Whitewater Kids' Kayak Program
Get Your Kids Out on the River in a Kayak this Summer!
In line with our philosophy of sharing our passion for river running
with our guests, we have developed a summer kayak program for kids, creating
the opportunity for these lucky kids to interact and have fun with other
children in an outdoor river environment while building skills, confidence,
and an appreciation for the beautiful area we live in.
At Wet Planet we have the unique opportunity to utilize our own private
outdoor pool for our instruction. Located right on the Wet Planet property,
the pool is the perfect place for a comfortable introduction to whitewater
kayaking. In addition, our facilities are located on 4 acres of river and
creek side property right along the White Salmon River. We are fortunate
to be able to take advantage of this perfect outdoor classroom!
