ABCs of Canoeing and Kayaking
Saturday - Sunday, May 23 - 24
Come join Campus Recreation and Outdoor Adventures as we teach you ABCs of Canoeing and Kayaking on Saturday, June 6.
Class will meet at the USA swimming pool. We will teach you how to hold a paddle, how to enter and exit your “ride” and how to go, turn, and stop. Most importantly, we will have you practice a wet entry; we will dump you over in the deep end of the pool and teach you how to right and re-enter a kayak and canoe both with and without help. Develop the self-confidence to join us on future trips. Meet at the pool at 10:00 a.m., class will last about two hours.
Cost (per person): $5 for students/one family member; $10 for faculty/ staff/one family member; $20 for non-USA.

Checks will not be deposited until completion of trip; if class is canceled, all fees will be refunded.. All participants will receive a $5 discount on any Outdoor Adventures trip taken in 2009.
