Learn to Kayak – Beginner Group Experience


Adults / Fitness & Recreation -
2026 Summer

This class, guided by SilverFinn Kayaking, introduces participants to kayaking in a supportive, beginner-friendly group environment! The course emphasizes safety, basic technique, and confidence building. Instruction begins on land, where participants learn essential skills and safety fundamentals, and then transitions to on-water practice at a calm, kayak-friendly body of water. 

All necessary equipment is provided, including kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and a waterproof case for phones and keys. Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign waivers and select your equipment.

Participants should wear comfortable clothing and shoes that can get wet and bring drinking water. No prior experience needed. A rescheduled date will be offered if weather does not cooperate.

Students ages 12+ are welcome to enroll with a registered adult.

Christina Finnegan

Christina Finnegan is owner and operator of SilverFinn Kayaking and a lifelong Minnesota resident who loves being on the water. She grew up spending summers swimming, canoeing, and paddle boating. Christina discovered kayaking later in life as a way to explore, unwind, and connect with nature with minimal impact on the environment. What she enjoys most is sharing that experience with others through safe, supportive instruction that builds confidence and community.

Christina's goal is simple: help people get outside, explore local waters, and feel more connected to nature—one paddle at a time.
