Event Information

Description
Welcome to kayaking with the outing club!  Whether you've been grown up with a paddle in hand or have never been in a boat before this is the place to start!  We'll talk about the sea kayaking and whitewater kayaking opportunities that await you, look through our new boathouse, and get on the water to build basic paddling skills.  Make sure to bring a swimsuit, water shoes, and a change of clothes as we will be getting wet. We're always looking for assistants too, so even if you just finished your first lake lesson come help instruct!  See everyone at the boathouse.

Due to multiple requests for a later weekday lake lesson, this will be held over the course of two days.  The first day will consist of a tour of the boat house, going over policies and procedures, talk about gear and fitting into a boat. We will get on the water the first day and discuss paddling techniques.
The second day will consist of bracing strategies and what to do if you were to flip over in your kayak. We will also practice the T rescue. Be prepared to get wet on both days.
