Kayak Program

Kayaking is a great activity to do at any time of the year! It helps to keep you fit, adds fun to your week and gets you out of the house. There is no better place to do kayaking than at Hansen Dam.  Hansen Dam is a great, local lake in Los Angeles that serves as our "classroom". Our classes are small, fun and focus on individual attention so that our professional instructors can guide both beginners and veterans to become skilled paddlers. Come try our classes and you won't forget your experience!
