Upcoming Events: Boating & Paddling

Virginia Outdoor Women (VOW) is excited to offer a VOW @ the Outdoor Adventure - Intro to Kayaking! Come learn from certified DWR boating instructors and get to spend time on the water! All equipment is provided, but if you have your own life vest, you are strongly encouraged to bring it!

There is a strict 10-person maximum for this event. Please do not register unless you are sure you can attend!

Registering for VOW events and not showing up ("no-shows") prevents other women from participating in the VOW Program. DWR makes every attempt to offer free/low-cost educational opportunities, however, no-shows waste valuable state resources/staff time and continued no-shows may result in implementing participation fees and other increased event costs. Please help DWR/VOW keep our free/low-cost educational programming!

This is a 4-hour basic paddling course designed to introduce the novice paddler (ages 16 and older) to the joys of flat-water kayaking. We will cover basic kayak nomenclature, getting into and out of your kayak, and some basic paddling techniques on the water. We will provide the kayaks and PFDs. You should bring drinking water, snacks/lunch, sunscreen, and closed-toed shoes. Parking fees are required to enter the State Park.
