Creating opportunities for children and young people in Sarapiquí through kayaking, education and community support. At Jaguar Kayak Academy, we believe a river can become a place where young people discover confidence, discipline, responsibility, friendship and a stronger connection with their community. Through free kayaking activities and educational experiences, local children and youth learn practical skills, river safety and new possibilities for their future.

Use kayaking, outdoor education and community collaboration to help young people build confidence and self-esteem; develop discipline, responsibility and teamwork; learn swimming, kayaking and river-safety skills; connect with nature; and discover future opportunities in sports, tourism and outdoor leadership.
Donate funds or equipment; volunteer your time; share skills in languages, first aid, environmental education, photography, technology, leadership or life skills; sponsor a community activity; or spread the word. Every tour, course or multi-day adventure booked with Jaguar Kayak Academy supports a local company committed to creating opportunities in Sarapiquí.
