Volunteer kayak training - ALL LEVELS

About this event

Join us for all levels kayak training session. You can just paddle on your own, or receive some instruction from basic to advance strokes.

Our program is run entirely by volunteers, so please be kind and understanding! We take time out of our own schedules to do this. If you RSVP yes, please consider this a commitment to attend. If you cancel within 12 hours or are a no-show, the host keeps the right to temporarily or permanently ban you from all their meetups. Please sign up for up to one training per week, unless you are the trainer. Let others have fun! The host will move you to "Not going" if you sign up for more than one training per week.

We'll check that folks have signed the annual waiver. Please sign ahead of time and keep the email confirmation, click here.
