Beginner Kayak Instruction

Have you always wanted to try kayaking but didn't know where to start? Are you afraid that you wouldn't know what to do in the event of a capsize? (Belive it or not, a capsize is not that big of a deal! As you will find out - it's actually kind of fun!) Skamokawa Center offers clinics that teach the basics of kayaking safely: how to get in and out, how to make your kayak go where you want it to go, how to paddle without making your body sore, and how to perfect your strokes, turns, and braces.

For $70 you will get instruction in kayaking basics and simple rescue techniques. The use of a wetsuit and all other necessary gear are included. A minimum of two students and a maximum of six will be accepted per class.

Dates and Times: July 26, Aug 30, 12 Noon - 3PM.
