“I’m a beginner can I apply to New River Academy?” The answer has more to do with your passion for the outdoors and being excited to be active than your experience kayaking. As a beginner you have two options that allow you to apply to New River Academy. As a beginner you will learn safety protocol and gain confidence running rivers.
Option A: Keeners/NRA Beginners Discount- $300/2-week and $500/3-week Discount to New River Academy students. Additionally, New River Academy is offering a $1,000 discount on a semester to a beginner who takes advantage of the Keener camp. This is a $1,300 to $1,500 discount opportunity.
These options will teach you the fundamentals of kayaking before your semester begins.

Option B: Beginner/Intermediate Development Track- Enroll into New River Academy as a beginner. Your first weeks will teach you the basics and fundamentals of kayaking on the Ottawa River. As a beginner you will be on a development track that is exciting and will progress you at a rapid pace. At the same time your coaches will work to build your confidence running rapids and teach you river-running skills. By the end of the semester you will be surfing waves and running clean waterfalls. How cool is that?
What about the advanced paddlers at New River Academy?

This works well for everyone. You will surprised at how fast you progress and begin to master kayaking in the NRA Development Program.
