Join the NAC/MAKAPO KEIKI KREW Paddling Team to engage in weekly outrigger paddling and life skills activities. The Keiki Krew Paddling Team welcomes children ages 8 -18 years with disabilities, as well as their family and friends. Members of  the Krewzers Paddling Team will experience the many benefits of outrigger paddling such as physical activity and cardiovascular fitness, immersino into a rich sensory experience, social-emotional skill development, and community building while also encouraging teamwork, building self-confidence, and developing an appreciation for being on and around the water.
