Kayaking Day Camp – Boulder
Atonement Lutheran Church, 685 Inca Pkwy, Boulder, CO 80303
About
Kayaking Day Camp – Boulder focuses on kayaking, including flatwater and whitewater kayaking. Campers practice paddling independently and as a team while learning basic strokes, rescue techniques, river reading, water safety, kayaking hand signals, and how to make wet exits. Campers use kid-friendly Jackson Whitewater Kayaks, and the program expects campers to have some previous experience paddling in standing or moving water, to feel fully comfortable on open water, and to be comfortable being fully submerged in water for short periods of time; if a camper does not meet this minimum skill requirement, the camp may move the camper to a different program if space is available or remove the camper from the group and offer a credit.

Kayaking Day Camp – Boulder operates under the guidance of highly qualified Avid4 Adventure instructors, all 18 and older with safety and skills training. The leadership team is led by founder David Secunda, former president of the Outdoor Industry Association and a 25-year veteran of the outdoor education industry. Avid4 Adventure states that it believes in the transformative power of the outdoors and that at Avid4 Adventure kids build confidence, make new friends, and master essential skills in activities like paddling, biking, rock climbing, and hiking.

Parent testimonials describe this camp as a favorite, noting that a camper who had never done the activities before now especially enjoys stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and biking, and that she learned to ride a bike without training wheels during camp (Emily Medress, September 2023). Another parent reports that their child wanted them to come see everything she learned each day and describes Avid’s staff as mature, responsible, and excited to share their passion, calling it a well-run program where kids learn new outdoor skills (Molly Marienthal, September 2023). A third parent states that their kids had “the best time” at the camp, still talked about it over a month later, could not wait to return the next year, and were active every day learning how to enjoy what Colorado offers (Suzanne Dayton, September 2023).
