YOUTH GROUP KAYAKING ON THE HUDSON RIVER

Exploration. Empowerment. Camaraderie.

Uptown Paddling, Inc, is a non-profit offering free kayaking to neighborhood youth groups, particularly those from Inwood, Washington Heights and the South Bronx.  The Inwood Canoe Club hosts our activities, providing equipment and volunteers, at their boathouse on the Hudson River, just off Dyckman Street.

We are a vibrant community of adventurous youth united by our passion for exploration, empowerment, and camaraderie.

We foster a supportive and inclusive environment, encouraging each member to embrace their unique strengths and develop valuable skills.

We inspire and empower young individuals through exciting outdoor experiences, fostering a sense of community, and promoting environmental awareness.
