Introduction to SPRINT Kayaking
Youths and Adults
Saturday Afternoons 1:00-4:00pm
April 13, April 27, May 11, More Dates Available in Activity Guide
These one day clinics offer a “splash course” in sprint kayaking for youth and adults. Over the afternoon, you will be introduced to the basic skills of balancing, paddling, and steering, in these challenging but rewarding boats.
The clinic will also cover the care and selection of equipment, general water safety, and self-rescue (swim to shore).
After completing this introduction, adult club members will be qualified to take out sprint equipment during free paddling sessions, and youth will be ready to join one of our ongoing sprint programs.
