If you really want to experience what it is like to have your heart in your throat, try your skills and test your fitness level with white water kayaking. Blessed with many types of rapid waters, Breckenridge challenges even the most experienced kayaker. But this sport isn�t just for vacationers; the Breckenridge Recreation Department offers courses from beginner to advanced throughout the year. In fact, the recreation department might be a good place to start if you�ve never been kayaking before. An indoor pool allows you to kayak in warm water (you will get wet), before you head out into the wild. The recreation center also offers kid kayaking lessons, to get your children interested in outdoor sports and a healthy lifestyle at an early age. The lessons are held every Sunday evening from 7-9 pm, including an open practice during the winter months, just in case your skills get a bit rusty.
If you�d rather jump right in, try the Rocky Mountain Adventure Company, specializing in all things heart pounding. This company provides beginners with a one to two day course that will have you turning over in no time. The class teaches all the basic skills, so that you won�t have to panic when a wall of white water waves comes at you full force. And if you are in a real rush, the group offers a Two Day Fast Track class that will have you in your kayak and in the water in no time. This class even offers a free lunch, riverside, to maximize your time. Try your hand at conquering nature�s most ferocious rapids by signing up for a kayaking course, or just heading out to Breckenridge�s white water park. If you are seeking adventure, this activity won�t let you down.
