Hi Sal,

I would suggest you join the Kayak & Canoe Club of New York (KCCNY)

http://www.kccny.com/

They are a great bunch of folks that have been around for a long time.

They have many local trips that are geared towards the beginner.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

I live in NJ (near NYC) and am looking for beginning Whitewater Kayak
instruction for my wife and I.

I have found the following schools reasonably close to us:

Northeast PA School, www.kayakschool.com , $219/2 day

Extreme Adventure Travel, www.extremeadventuretravel.com, $180/2day

Whitewater Challengers, www.whitewaterchallengers.com, $159/2 day

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with any of these
schools? Extreme Adventure Travel seems to be the only one of these to
also offer intermediate courses.
Should this be a factor in case we want to pursue kayaking further?
I appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Sal
