YA Beginner Kayaking - 104-1-1821

Embrace your outdoorsy self and become a kayaker alongside other young adults. We’ll cover basic paddling strokes, safety tips, making trip planning fun, and some simple ways to be kind to nature before unwinding with a 40-minute float on Kent Lake.

Thank you for registering for a paddle program with us! A few reminders to make our float as comfortable as possible:
* If you plan to bring your phone or keys on the water, bring a zip-loc baggie so they don’t get wet.
* Temperatures may be warm, so please bring a water bottle, and sunscreen or a hat.
* Do not wear cotton clothing or jeans. We are expecting a calm paddle, however there is always a chance of getting wet when on a boat. Cotton holds water, keeping you cold, wet, and uncomfortable if you happen to splash yourself or fall in. Additionally, please wear shoes that can get wet.
* If you registered a friend, don't forget to forward this information to them!
