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 and out on Lake Mendota once it warms up. We will transport the canoes to Starkweather Creek by Olbrich gardens. This slow creek was chosen because the lakes are still too cold for safe instructional boating, and its tree-lined shore also offers opportunity for spring bird watching. The club has canoes, paddles and life vests on hand, you only need be dressed warmly in layers to paddle a canoe on this cool spring day, and wear shoes or sandals that can get wet from paddle splash or from stepping into the water to launch the canoe. You might consider bringing extra clothes in a plastic bag in the (hopefully unlikely) event of an upset. Beginners and experienced canoers welcome, but if you sign up, be sure to appear. No swim test is offered, do that Sunday at the pool session. I can transport two canoes; if you have a car that can carry a canoe. let me know and I can expand the signup.
