What we’re about
For kayakers in and around the Fox Valley area .
If you are looking to get out and meet others that share your passion for kayaking and canoeing, join Fox Valley Kayakers. Together we can explore the Fox Valley area waterways. Everyone is welcome to join, no matter how much experience you have.
We encourage you to be aware of your ability when signing up for a paddle. You are responsible for your safety. You are encourage to wear a PFD and possibly a helmet.
Stewardship of our waterways is important. Do not liter, respect landowners property and clean up liter when possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, call or email the leadership team. We are happy to meet new people that share our passion. Our goal is to bring kayakers and canoers together to socialize, educate and have fun.
We welcome you to join the Fox Valley Kayakers. If you chose to do so, we request a photo and your name so that our event host can identify you. This will assist the event host and other participants when you attend the event.

### In partnership with the West Bend YMCA, we are pleased to provide these extensive kayaking class sessions. More info can be found from our webpage: https://silentwake.com/ymca-pool-classes/
### Target audience for this class:
### Perfect for entry level paddlers, anyone interested in taking their kayaking to the next level, and those who wish to become more experienced through expert guidance and practice. Adults and older youth would be ideal for our kayaks/life vests.
### Why winter pool sessions?
### Pool sessions are a perfect location to learn, practice, and perfect your kayaking skills. In the controlled environment of a pool, individuals of all skill levels can safely learn and master the art of kayaking. Sessions are designed to build knowledge from one to the next. Attendance at all sessions is recommended.
### What is included?
### These classes will have a combination of both classroom and pool training. A total of 12 hours worth of training/experience!! The four part class will incorporate three of our core kayaking sessions: Kickstart, Essentials, and our Rescue class.
### Use of our kayaks/gear will be incorporated into the classes. Should you wish to use your own kayak for this training - they should have built in safety features of bulkhead(s), and deck lines. This is extremely helpful during the rescue portion. If uncertain if your kayak is suitable for this class, give us a call. All training material will be provided on the first day.
