What should I bring?
- one smiling, very happy face
- willingness to learn and have fun
- bathing suit, towel, sunshirt
- windbreaker, raincoat
- sunscreen, sunglasses
- shoes that can get wet or sandals/water shoes
- warm clothes to change into
- picnic lunch – this is really important or you'll starve!
So what am I going to do anyway?
Our goal is to introduce you to the world of kayaks in a fun way. Each of you will come to kids kayaking with a different background of experience with boats. Some of you will be trying kayaks for the first time, while others will already be quite familiar with strokes, braces, and rescues. That's just fine, because we will teach, coach, and encourage you at your own level and speed.
Sometimes we'll be playing games, other times we'll be doing group teaching, and we'll also work with each of you to learn a particular skill. Each week is different and full of surprises. You can come back to kids kayaking as many times as you wish because we'll challenge you to try new tricks.choose the right boat, paddle, and PFD for your size
- keep yourself and the group safe
- get in without falling in!
- get out without falling out!

- go forward fast
- turn in a terrific way and then go sideways!
- lean out and tilt the boat... and then come back up
- maybe even how to roll!! (this is for the keeners)
- get back in the boat in shallow and deep water
- help your friends back in their boats
- figure out when it's safe to paddle
- camping skills with kayaks
- care for and feed the boats and gear (they get hungry you know!)
- soak the instructors...
We are really looking forward to having you come paddle with us – see you soon!
Please Note : -) Your parents / guardians may drop you off at 10 am and pick you up at 3 pm. If they want to stay for a while and try out boats, that's fine by us. There's no charge, just check with us first. Thanks (: -)
