Join Us for Beyond the Shore: Family Paddle Series

Black Kids Adventures in partnership with Forest Paddle Boarding invite you to experience the Tennessee River like never before with our Beyond the Shore: Family Paddle Series. Just five minutes from Ditto Landing, this summer-long series is all about building confidence, having fun, and creating unforgettable memories on the water.

We’ll start with SUP basics and progress to guided adventures, paddling out to the Butler Basin Lighthouse and soaking in stunning sunset views. These are active paddle experiences designed for a variety of ages and skill levels. *Paddle time varies based on individual pace and comfort.

‍

‍What to Bring:

✔️ Water (electrolytes recommended, it's hot out there!)
✔️ Snacks
✔️ Water shoes or shoes with good tread (shoes required; no flip-flops or Crocs)
✔️ Sunscreen
✔️ Bug spray
✔️ Dry bag or ziplock for phones and valuables
✔️ Towel and change of clothes

Our certified paddle leaders will help guide you every step of the way and ensure you feel safe, confident, and supported on the water.

This series is open to individuals and families alike, no experience necessary!

Let’s paddle beyond the shore, together.
