Sharing our love of the outdoors with our children is fun and exciting - and sometimes challenging. In this easy-to-use book, Bruce Lessels and Karen Blom share their expertise and experience as parents, white water paddlers, and operators of Zoar Outdoor, where they have developed paddling instruction courses and programs for children ages 8 to 18. Parents and youth instructors alike will appreciate the author's practical advice on everything from getting children excited about paddling to choosing the right gear to teach proper stroke technique.
