All ages are welcome and most appropriate for ages 10 and older. Anyone under 18 must have a guardian present and may need to be in the kayak with child. If guardians are attending but not participating, they are welcome to hang out on the beach/pier during the instructional portion. It is a great photo opportunity! Guardians do not have to register unless they are riding in a kayak, but they must be present for the duration of the event.
Beginners will learn basic information about equipment and proper technique. After a few demonstrations, participants practice their new skills in the water!
