Learn to Kayak at The Barn

Learn to kayak with the folks at The Barn. This class will get you ready to hit the water when the snow melts. This introductory-level class teaches you everything you'll need to know to get started:  kayaking safety, paddle technique, gear selection, rolling and more. We provide almost everything you'll need. There are a limited number of spots, so please call us if you're interested or if you would like more information.

Danielle will be leading the class again this year and she can be reached at The Barn at 585-2090 or at ddesmond@northerlightstrading.com.

Northern Lights has been providing kayak classes to the community of Bozeman for over 30 years. In fact, Northern Lights was founded on our owner, Mike Garcia's passion for boating. If you've never checked out The Barn, come see us off Huffine Lane, behind Slumberland Furniture and see why we're the best place to buy rafting, kayaking, canoeing and general river-running gear and clothing. We'll see you on the water!

Summer is Here!

Summer is Here! Or is it? All I know is that it's getting warmer and people are getting out, even as the rain pelts our newly-tanned skin. What are you doing outside these days? Is it kayaking, climbing, hiking, or seeking out those ribbons of snow? We want to hear your stories!
