This clinic is designed for entry-level individuals. We will focus on the basic skills involved with maneuvering a kayak on flatwater with efficient paddle strokes. This will include: entering and exiting the kayak in a controlled manner; propelling the kayak forward, backward, and sideways; turning the kayak; and stopping the kayak. We will also discuss paddling knowledge, including trip preparation, equipment, safety, communication, and rescue.

Participants must bring their own kayak, paddle and life jacket. We may be able to accommodate a canoe upon request.

This clinic will run from 9am to 1pm at Prairie Oaks Metro Park.

This clinic is limited to 10 participants. Participants must be CPC members.
