Our 2024 kayaking series begins with a beginner’s lake-based paddling skills class, followed by shorter and less-strenuous river sessions. As the summer progresses, choose increasingly longer and more technical paddles for intermediate skill levels. Participants will receive dry-land instruction on basic kayaking techniques from an experienced instructor each session, and then hit the water to practice these skills. Participants meet at the take-out location and are shuttled to the put-in location. Choose any number of sessions to take. Boaters must be at least 16 years old and be able to hold breath under water while wearing a properly fitted life jacket, independently turn from a face down to a face-up position keeping head above water, effectively communicate with the instructor and other participants, and manage all mobility and personal care independently or with the assistance of a companion.
