Rapid Progression offers both pool and river classes in addition to inflatable kayak trips down the Weber River. Regardless of your experience and skill level, we have something for everyone.
TWO NIGHT INTRO TO KAYAKING POOL CLASS $195/Person (6 Total Hours)
ALL GEAR PROVIDED BY RPKS
During the first night of this class we go over the necessary gear for kayaking, the wet exit, basic strokes and bracing. Each paddler will gain foundational skills and learn how to maneuver their kayak using different strokes.
Night number two allows us to go more in depth with technique and strokes. We also dedicate the majority of the night to rolling, allowing participants to work one on one with instructors. By the end of the two night class, participants should feel comfortable taking their skills to moving water and participate in one of our river classes.
WEBER RIVER KAYAK CLASS $215/Person (6-8 Hours Depending on Class Size)
ALL GEAR PROVIDED BY RPKS
Welcome to our playground, the river! This class is designed for those paddlers that feel confident with the basics and want to take their paddling from a contained environment on flatwater, to the open waters of several local rivers. During this class each participant will learn whitewater safety and how to read basic river features. They will also learn the importance of edge control as we teach them how to do peelouts, eddy turns, and ferries. Our goal as team Rapid Progression is to help each paddler begin to experience the same fulfillment that kayaking has given to each of us. Whether it’s your first time out on the river, or you have experience but just need to refine your skills, let us help play a part in your kayaking progression by letting us teach and share our passion with you.

6 DAY WHITEWATER KAYAK WORKSHOP - Rapid Progression in partnership with Holiday River Expeditions
August 5th-10th 2024 - $1835/person
The Green River through Desolation Canyon is a perfect training ground for a whitewater kayaking workshop. The canyon offers plenty of slow-moving water where you can practice the basics, and more than 60 fun, low-consequence rapids where you can put your new skills to the test! Rapid Progression Kayak School has teamed up with Holiday River Expeditions to put together a fully supported, six-day whitewater kayaking workshop.
If you’re looking for a more active vacation or want to get up close and personal with the Green River in one of the most spectacular wilderness canyons in the West, this is the trip for you. A professional kayaking instructor will provide the instruction and all kayaking equipment. Holiday guides provide logistical support and prepare gourmet meals while you practice paddling, rolling, and running rapids. Six days also allow time to hike along side canyons, explore cultural sites, and simply relax on the beaches or among the shady cottonwood trees.
Prior kayaking experience is not necessary, but a kayak swimming pool class is suggested to help speed your learning on the river. You should be in excellent physical condition and comfortable around water. Get hands-on with your river trip!
STAND UP PADDLE BOARD YOGA
Cost: $35/person with classes usually taking place from 6:00pm-7:30pm at various locations

If you enjoy being outside and on the water, you’ll have a blast participating in one of our SUP Yoga classes.

Give yourself some time to unwind while spending time in nature. Embrace the challenge of this floating class and test your balance; falling in is half the fun!
PRIVATE CLASSES
Want to work one-one-one with one of our instructors, dialing in your roll or practicing river technique? Rapid Progression offers private instruction to meet your paddling needs. Our team has years of paddling and teaching experience and we would love to discuss what you would like to focus on and set something up that works for you. Kayaking is all about continuous progression, and we’ve helped paddlers from all different skill levels achieve their paddling goals.
