About this Event

Come join us for a FREE beginner kayak paddle lesson from 5:30 - 7:30pm at Grove Street Boat Launch in Elmira. Licensed instructor and co-founder of Chemung River Friends, Jim Pfiffer, will teach you how easy, safe, and fun it can be to paddle on the river! No experience is necessary, and all equipment will be provided, including a sheet pizza dinner for all participants.

Meet us at the concrete boat launch in the parking area near the pavilion. Instructions will be provided within sight of the boat launch and life jackets are mandatory. We will provide life jackets and kayaks, or you can bring your own if you have them!

Children are welcome and encouraged to participate! Parents/guardians must remain with their child at all times. Any children under age 8 must accompany you in a tandem kayak (we have 2 available). Children older than 8 may use a single kayak.

Pre-registration is required and donations, while very appreciated, are completely optional.
