KELLY'S ACADEMY
SHARING OUR LOVE OF THE RIVER
Kelly’s Academy’s mission is to provide the children of Valley County an opportunity to learn the sport of kayaking, stand up paddling and surfing.
FREE LESSONS FOR LOCAL KIDS
Kayak Lessons – Stand Up Paddle Board Lessons – River Surfing Lessons
Our short term goal is to have children learn water safety skills and an appreciation for the river, while teaching them the basic skills of kayaking, stand up paddling and surfing. Our long term goal is to cultivate a future Olympian who attended Kelly’s Academy and also trained at Kelly’s.
*Students must be full time residents of Valley County, Idaho.
