Instruction
As always we will have several instructors at the pool including Jim Sprouffske, Frank Hackney, Liane Amaral, Rick Dukes, Scott Holmberg, and others always willing to help.
We will also offer our ACA Sanctioned Beginners Kayak Class this spring. The cost is $135 includes two extended pools sessions and three river days taught by our certified ACA instructors and assisted by experienced safety boaters (volunteers). Sign up early as the class fills quickly.
Beginner Trips
Volunteers Needed
We plan on holding our usual beginner trips (see below) and Drake Dennert will be coordinating those dates and asking for trip leaders.
We are ALWAYS looking for volunteers to lead beginner trips and recruit safety boaters. This is a great way for you and a friend(s) to lead an event and make a memorable event for yourself and others. Contact Drake if that is something you would be interested in.
