Adaptive Paddle Clinic with Adventues Without Limits
Sunday, August 12, 2018 at 12 PM - 3 PM PDT

Join Tualatin Riverkeepers (TRK) and Adventures Without Limits for our annual Adaptive Paddle Clinic.

TRK's Adaptive Paddle Clinic is an opportunity for people with disabilities to enjoy the beauty of the Tualatin while being part of a supportive community. The event will be at Cook Park in Tigard, on Sunday, August 12 2018 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

Try out a wide array of adaptive paddling equipment designed to meet individual needs, and special equipment and instruction for those with special needs. Participants will learn basic kayaking skills, like moving the boat, making it turn and how to put on a life jacket. The Adventures Without Limits staff is trained in special education with communication strategies to give instructions to people of all abilities. They are also trained in adaptive paddling and have equipment to accommodate people with physical disabilities, like a wheelchair seat or balance mechanisms to help people hold the paddles.

A short guided paddle will occur from 1:00pm-2:00pm.

The festivities will continue at Cook Park where we’ll have a barbecue for all participants. The waters of the Tualatin are free and accessible for everyone so come out and catch the sun with us!

This event is free and open to the public, but we ask that you RSVP here.
