Join Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 for an Adaptive Kayaking
Open House!

Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 and New Mexico Kayak Instruction, Inc invite kids with cancer, cystic fibrosis and Down's Syndrome for an Open House day of Adaptive Kayaking at Los Altos Pool. 

The goal of this informal Open House event is to expose individuals with physical or developmental disabilities and their families to adaptive kayaking in a familiar, controlled environment, meet our instructors and volunteers, and find out about upcoming opportunities with our corporate sponsor, Hotel Cascada.

To find out about upcoming adaptive kayaking and fundraising events at Hotel Cascada, please join our mailing list so we can keep you informed directly.

Coming soon to Hotel Cascada!


Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 is pleased to announce corporate sponsorship from The Hotel Cascada.   Imagine being a child or young adult with a physical or developmental disability, learning to kayak in a familiar, controlled (but exciting) environment, like the 'lazy river,' or under the waterfalls, around the spray features or any of the 26 water-play features.  Imagine sliding down the 237ft enclosed waterslide or surfing on the "flow-rider" when they're not kayaking in the pool.  All of that will soon be possible. 

Sign up for our mailing list today to be the first to know about upcoming "adaptive" opportunities at Hotel Cascada.

My girls were Brownies. From a leader perspective, I wanted to see something fun, and that would build confidence. This was one of our first real "outings" as a Girl Scout. I was looking for something "different", something with a sense of adventure/out of the ordinary (something they don't do everyday) but controlled and safe. I also wanted something a bit challenging - physically, but also something they hadn't done before, something that would build confidence. This really fit the bill perfectly. They didn't' want to get out of the pool!

I would wholeheartedly recommend this course. I would also recommend they have several adults in the water, and several "shore-side" as there seemed to be more things to do that I would have expected. Not only for the girls' confidence, but helping turn around the kayaks, getting the girls in and out, etc.
