    This class is an introduction to kayaking, with a strong focus on safety and having FUN.  We’ll spend a full day working on proper paddle strokes for efficiency, safe boat handling, self-rescue techniques; and discuss types of gear, and safety.

    We prefer that our students learn in whitewater boats, as they are more responsive.  If you do not have a whitewater boat, you may use one of the club boats for the class and the follow-up trip.

    The class is held on the flat section of the Conodoguinet creek in Carlisle.

    There will be a follow-up trip the following day (Sunday 9/25) on the Yellow Breeches creek. This is a fun opportunity to practice your newly learned skills.

    Please contact me: vcgraham60@comcast.net for more information and a link to register for this class.
