Kay-ak (ki’ ak’) n. [[Esk]] an Eskimo canoe make of skins completely covering a wooden frame except for a small opening for the paddler.

learning to roll the kayakOur definition is a little different from Webster’s. While the basic idea is the same, the kayaks used by Cheerio Adventures are state of the art boats made of a plastic material which is very durable. The kayaks are also designed to do things the Eskimos never even thought about, such as run white water rivers, do; enders, pirouettes, cart wheels, spins, and many other exciting maneuvers. Even though participants may not be ready for all of those maneuvers, they have to start somewhere.

The programs that include kayaking are designed for participants that range from those that have never even seen a kayak to novice paddlers. The amount of kayaking is generally 1 to 2 days. The following is a list of all Cheerio Adventures programs that include kayaking:
