Cancellation policy : Students may cancel 5 days before class for 80% refundNo refunds for no-shows.

Planning for class:

  • Paddling is a wet sport (shocking!) Prepare appropriately- consider the weather and water temperature. 
  • Do not wear cotton, it absorbs water quickly, gets heavy and will chill you.
  • warm weather clothing may be a swimsuit, synthetic quick drying shorts and shirt. Athletic attire works in most cases. 
  • Water shoes or old sneakers for your feet, no sandals or flip-flops, protect your feet and especially your toes.
  • Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks for energy, lunch for longer days.
  • Canoe students: kneeling pad or wearable knee pads will make your day more comfortable.
  • Bring a towel and change of dry clothes for the end of the day!!  If you are not sure what to wear or bring, contact your instructor.
  • Classes are generally held rain or shine. The instructor will notify students if there is a change or cancellation.
  • Minors must be 12 years old or older to enroll in a class. A parent or guardian must register as a student to accompany minors in all classes.
