Kayak Roll Sessions in Western Oregon pools



When open, these are usually self-lead events where you bring your own gear. Some are drop in, other's require preregistration. Best to call ahead. Most have no formal lessons but other boaters are happy to give tips. It’s a great way to meet other boaters and plan trips. Rinse out your boat before putting in the pool and have fun!!

Call to confirm dates and times especially near holidays. Some pools require that you sign up ahead of time. If you hear updates, please let us know. info@wkcc.org
