KRA at Junior Olympics
The KRA kids after competing in the Jr. Olympics in Golden, Colorado (July 2007).

The Kern River Alliance was incorporated in August 1995 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We have no paid staff members. KRA is all volunteers dedicated to the preservation of the Kern River in California and its whitewater sports.

Our mission statement:
To create opportunities for kids to experience kayaking in a fun and safe environment through camps and workshops while building confidence and self esteem. Kern River Alliance Kids Kayaking Program is a Junior Olympic program that provides a rare opportunity for young people to prepare and compete on a national and international level.

KRA pool sessions start on Monday, June 1st! 6pm at the McMurtrey Pool!
