Paddling Parties

Canoeing, kayaking, and stand up paddleboarding are great ways for kids ages 7+ or adults to celebrate a special occasion outdoors with family and friends!

What's Included

Parties for at least 8 people are 1½ hours long from May through October, with dates subject to availability. We host on a calm stretch of the Farmington River behind our shop and include the boats or paddleboards, paddles, and personal flotation devices needed. An on-the-water guide will provide a safety lesson so everyone feels confident and help lead fun games. We also can provide extra tables for your cake or ice cream in the picnic area. 

What's Required

For kids' parties 1 adult is required to participate on the water with the first 8 children and 1 additional adult is required for every 5 children. Parents are encouraged to participate! There is no lifeguard on duty. Each participant or their adult guardian must complete a Liability Waiver.

Rates & Reservations

The fee is $35 per person. Reservations are required with a $100 deposit, and the balance will be due the day of the party. 

Please call 860-693-6977 with your anticipated group size and a few possible dates to discuss scheduling. Or start the conversation below by telling us about your group. We look forward to helping plan your outdoor adventure!

Cancellations & Policies

All cancellations must be done through the shop by calling 860-693-6977. Cancellations received with at least 1 week notice prior to the reserved date will receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations made less than 1 week before the reserved date will forfeit the entire deposit.

In the event of severe weather when CCK cannot allow people on the water for safety reasons, we will make every effort to reschedule the event or refund the deposit in full.

Rates are subject to change without prior notice. Our complete policies are available in the About Us section.
