Kids in Kayaks is a program by the Baltimore National Heritage Area to teach 8th Grade students in Baltimore about the city’s historic waterways in a way they will never forget! In partnership with Ultimate Watersports, students will learn the fundamentals of kayaking at the Living Classrooms Marina in Fells Point. Thanks to our funders, we are able to offer this program at no cost to parents, schools, or teachers.
