    This course is designed to offer participants the basic skills and knowledge to make kayaking a safe and enjoyable sport. We cover basic paddle skills as well as wet exits and how to re-enter your boat in the event of a capsize. This course is broken into two parts - in class and on water. The in class portion is on the evening of the first day (6:30 pm - 9:30 pm) and the on water portion takes place at a local beach access area. Check the event details for location and other notes.
