As a die hard kayaker, I'd vote for a ....  canoe.  It's also highly
dependent on the local water conditions they have available, but for
waters that are kid-friendly, they're also quite appropriate for open
canoes.

With the potential for more open-water conditions, Kirk's Dyson
baidarka suggestion is a good one.
