Resilience Paddle Sports is a nonprofit youth paddling program at Pier 13 in Hoboken, running kayak and paddleboard sessions on the Hudson River. Most offerings are short drop-off sessions of about two hours (Hoboken Paddle Camp for ages 8-9 and 10-12) plus parent-child paddles for ages 2-6 and 10-16; the one multi-day option, Resilience Adventure Camp, is a five-day program for ages 11-13. Programming centers on team building, on-water adventure and Hudson River estuary exploration. Advance registration and a guardian waiver are required.

★★★★★Joanna MetelitsaThis program is so special! My son has gone several weeks for a couple summers now and he loves it more and more each time. He is learning, developing key skills, and having fun. Plus the staff is absolutely amazing and the views couldn't be better. Highly recommend!!!
★★★★★Erika LenziMy 7.5 year old LOVED his week of resilience camp. Getting to learn how to kayak, paddle board, and learn more about the wildlife on the Hudson. At the end of the week, he was asking to go back for another.
★★★★★Alicia ArellanoMy 8 year old loved it! She cant wait to go back this summer. The staff was amazing and treated the kids with patience, kindness, and respect. All the kids were nice to eachother and my daughter was happy to see them every morning. She now wants her own paddle boat. Thx!
★★★★★Vyacheslav MA great spot to enjoy water activities on the Hudson River. The river isn’t as dirty as many people say—it seems like the Clean Water Act of 1972 is working. The kayaking equipment is in good condition, and the instructor, Noelle, is a very friendly lady who will guide you throughout the tour.
★★★★★Itss RayyVery fun. 10/10 recommend. Affordable prices, fun tour, friendly staff. I’ve been 2 times already! The tour guide took our pictures since we didn’t have our phones which we loved. There’s also lock boxes for your belongings! Wear something you don’t mind getting wet just in case and you can also leave your shoes off before getting on.
