 Here are the details:

When: July 11-13. 

Where: On Lake Michigan at Rowley Bay Resort in Door County, WI. ~ 5hrs drive.

Rating Required: SK1 and up

Why's it so great:
This clinic offers dozens of courses organized by skill level. It is run by ACA certified instructors and covers every aspect of sea kayaking.  You choose your own class schedule based on skill level. There are land and water-based instructional courses as well as guided expeditions around Lake Michigan. Some examples of instructional classes are Greenland paddling, Navigation, and Surf & Waves. Guided trips are both full and half-day. You have the choice of skill-builder trips where rescue scenarios are mixed with the expedition, or you can strictly do touring.  Skill level descriptions are on the site and instructors will be double checking your abilities.  So, choose what you think is the most appropriate level. 

 Cost: Ok the biggest detail.  You are responsible for clinic costs, lodging, and food (some meals provided by clinic).

You should sign up here and on the Clinic Website!  And you will need to register through the clinic’s website and pay registration fees (more info below). 

 Clinics are more expensive than the average Hoofer trip.  But when you look at the variety of guided expeditions and instructional opportunities the value goes a long way.  If you need sea kayak equipment we are approved to use Hoofer equipment. This saves the expense of having to rent boats/paddles/skirts.
