This fall, Currituck County 4-H is giving our youth several opportunities to get outside, explore local waterways, and experience the excitement of kayaking. A series of guided kayaking trips will offer participants the chance to develop paddling skills, discover local wildlife and natural resources, and enjoy the beauty of the area’s waterways. Participants can choose from multiple adventures throughout the season while building confidence, connecting with nature, and making memories along the way. These programs are for ages 8 to 14.
