Event Information

Description
This canoe lesson, distinct from our kayak lesson, teaches you how to work as a team to make a tandem canoe go where you want to go, and gives you the canoe lake rating needed to go on outing club canoe trips such as Fall Colors or to paddle on Lake Mendota (before it gets too cold). You will get a chance to practice paddling the canoe in both the bow and the stern. We normally don't purposely capsize to practice rescues, but it's hard to keep your feet dry in a canoe, so wear some kind of footwear that stays on and can get wet such as Tevas/sport sandals or sneakers. If you can't make the lesson, please remove your signup at least a half day in advance, so others can take the lesson. Lesson time might have to be changed to avoid a storm or high winds.
