New Youth Paddling Club Coming Soon!

We are excited to announce a new partnership and youth outdoor adventure opportunity! The Franklin School of Innovation is partnering with Nantahala Racing Club to offer a youth paddling club. Club members will learn foundational and progressive paddling skills that will allow them to paddle whitewater and compete in paddle sport events. The club will meet right here in our little section of Hominy Creek! 


Practices will be on Wednesdays from 1:30 - 3 pm, with additional Nantahala Racing Club practices following from 3 - 7:30 pm. The youth paddling club will begin September 15 and run through November 18 with 1 - 2 optional weekend river trips. 

Club is open to students in grades 6 - 8, 8:1 coach to athlete ratio, parents are welcome! 

Costs:
- Nantahala Racing Club annual membership: $50
- Club Fee: $20/week or pay $200 for all sessions
