Learn the basics of how to properly fit a Personal Flotation Device (PFD)

Safety never takes a holiday!  Learn how to properly fit a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) in this quick video, including how to adjust the straps and make sure it is securely fastened.

Whether it’s kayaking, canoeing, or any of the other exciting water sports that Avid4 Adventure offers, we want to make sure that safety always comes first. Our instructors will help your kid learn how to use PFDs and other safety measures to ensure that they have an unforgettable adventure.

We offer many camps with water sports, for example, our Kayaking Camps:

Our Kayaking Day Camp gets campers out on both flat-water and whitewater, experiencing the joy of paddling independently and working and as a team to hone their kayaking skills. Under the guidance of our able instructors, campers will learn basic strokes, rescue techniques, river reading and water safety as they navigate some of the most spectacular lakes and waterways in Colorado’s Front Range.

Campers take on challenges tailored to their ability level, progressing as they build proficiency and comfort. We group them by grade—2nd – 4th graders join the Skills Camp, while 5th – 7th graders make up our Adventure Team—and give them plenty of individualized support as they develop confidence and deepen their technical skills, stroke by stroke.

Kayaking Day Camp campers should have some previous experience paddling in standing or moving water. Although they’ll be wearing personal flotation devices (PFDs) at all times, they should be competent swimmers and feel comfortable momentarily submerged below water.
