Paddle Skills Community Demo Day
No rsvp required. Rolling clinics. First come, first served.
Camp Outpost Inc. is teaming up with the City of Omaha Parks and Rec Department to bring the community a free, hands-on evening of paddle sports and outdoor confidence building.
Join us on Friday, June 5 from 5:30–8:00 PM at Standing Bear Lake for rolling 30-minute paddle skills clinics designed for families, beginners, and anyone curious about getting on the water. No RSVP required—just show up and jump in. Clinics run first come, first served, and are built to meet people exactly where they are.
Participants will learn:
• Paddle safety and on-water awareness
• Basic strokes and balance
• How to build confidence in a new outdoor space
All kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, lifejackets, and paddles are provided, with equipment generously donated by Neighborhood Offshore Board Shop. Instruction provided by yours truly. The event is free and open to the community.
ABOUT CAMP OUTPOST INC.Camp Outpost is a Nebraska-based 501(c)(3) outdoor outfitter dedicated to making adventure accessible, skills-based, and real. We believe confidence is built one paddle stroke, one carved turn, one brave “I’ll try it” at a time.
Our programs serve communities that are too often left out of traditional recreation, including system-impacted youth, LGBTQ+ youth and families, individuals with disabilities and neurodiverse participants, women and girls finding their footing in outdoor spaces, and anyone who has felt priced out, overlooked, or out of place in the outdoors.
Through year-round programming in paddle sports, water sports, snow sports, skate, equestrian, and STEM-based outdoor education, we bring professional instruction, barrier-free clinics, and our Mobile Outpost gear library directly into neighborhoods, schools, detention centers, and community hubs across Omaha and beyond.
At Camp Outpost, no one needs gear, experience, or the “right background.” Just curiosity. We show up with the equipment, the coaching, and a crew that believes belonging should come standard.
