Grab your board and get ready for the ultimate Colorado River adventure!
This week-long ducky and SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) journey is perfect for everyone—from total beginners to seasoned shredders. We’ll kick things off with a fun day of lakeside training led by the Academy’s boating director, where you’ll learn all the basics and try out your first strokes. Then, it’s time to level up!
Gear up as we head to the stunning Ruby Horsethief section of the Colorado River. With boards, dry bags, and overnight supplies packed, we’ll paddle into the breathtaking canyon, where rugged cliffs meet peaceful waters. Over three amazing days, we’ll find our FLOW—honing paddle techniques, building core strength, and laughing through “board games” as we wind through the twists and turns of the canyon.
The highlight? A Rocky Mountain Luau on a remote beach under the stars! Wake up to a golden sunrise and paddle your way out of this magical high desert paradise. Surfs up, Colorado style—let’s make waves!
Important: Students will spend most of this program on the river. PFDs will always be worn, but participants should be confident swimmers and comfortable around moving water.
