Safety and Instruction

TRR-Raleigh is committed to safe, quality instruction and river trips.  Every event is staffed by American Canoe Association certified Level 4 Kayak Instructors, as well as those certified in CPR and First Aid.   Every veteran receives individual, one-on-one instruction with the help of additional safety assistants.









Our Contributers




TRR provides health and healing for injured, active duty and service members and veterans through whitewater therapeutic kayaking and other forms of adventure paddling.  What we do is physically demanding and socially supportive.  We are inclusive in our efforts to serve all disabled veterans and their families.

We start off learning the basics in a heated, indoor pool.  From there, we head out to lakes and rivers with group paddling trips.  We adapt instruction and gear to individual injuries and challenges.

Come on out and enjoy the fun!  If you let us know in advance that you are planning to attend a pool session, we can make sure we have a boat and gear ready for you!  A little hesitant?  It's ok to just come out and observe, too.

 
    Why kayak?
  • It’s a fun, challenging, and rewarding sport!
  • Connect with nature and the wilderness!
  • Meet new buddies!
  • It's FREE - We provide the boats, gear, and instruction!
