FOR BEGINNERS

A course built for novices and families

Structured for new paddlers (recommended for ages 5 and up), the session focuses on the essentials so you leave with confidence rather than just theory.

LAND TO WATER

Start dry, then practice afloat

Instruction begins on dry land to teach strokes, terminology and safety before participants launch—an efficient progression that emphasizes technique before exposure to water.

PRACTICAL PREP

Expect to get wet; pack accordingly

There’s always the possibility of getting wet when boats go in the water; the program calls for beach-style gear, extra water for hot days, and a waterproof dry bag for valuables.
