This event requires that you have completed a lake lesson and a standard swim test. After the lake lesson, this is an introduction to paddling kayaks on moving water. This is beginner-friendly, and we will teach the basics of moving water maneuvers: eddy turns, peel-outs, and ferries.
We are going to the Baraboo River: https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/2887/#main
It is just under 1 hour drive north. Will meet at Park St Circle to load kayaks at 9:30 AM Saturday September 22nd.
We will probably get dinner on the way home!
