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.

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.
