Adaptive Kayaking Programs at Price Lake
August 16 @ 9:30 am - 3:30 pm

As one of several efforts to advance Blue Ridge Rising’s accessibility strategy, the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation and Waypoint Adventure are partnering to offer adaptive kayak training for individuals with physical or mental disabilities at Price Lake, milepost 297 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, near Blowing Rock, N.C.
These sessions will be offered from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 16. The cost for each excursion is $20 per person; scholarships are available. The outing is accessible to people with a range of disabilities thanks to a variety of adaptive kayaking equipment and instruction designed to meet individual needs. Trained staff will instruct, support, and encourage participants as they expand their outdoor skills.
Registration is capped at seven participants for each session, and the deadline to sign up is Aug. 12. These excursions are funded by a grant from the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF).
