BayCreek Paddling Center
The best kayaking shop in Rochester, NY!

As an 8-year-old my parents signed me up for kids kamp, which I attended multiple times a year until I was 12 and too old to be a camper. For the next two years I was the local "cabana girl" (I did not know why everyone laughed when they called me that... I guess I was a clueless 12-year-old), washing boats in exchange for free kayak rentals. At 14 I was officially hired and began cashiering and helping out with kids camp. And so began my 9 years of working at BayCreek...
