Kayak Rescues (Ages 16 and up)

Blue Creek, Nona France Quarry
Wednesday, August 20, 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Reservations Required, Fee: $45

Would you know what to do if you or a paddling buddy capsize your boat? Learn about paddling safety and practice multiple kayak rescue techniques in a controlled setting to help you feel more comfortable on larger bodies of water. Paddlers of all experience levels can benefit from this class, but it is not recommended for first time kayakers. Paddlers should be ready and willing to be ""swimmers""- to get out of the kayak to learn capsize skills.

Location: Blue Creek Metropark, Nona France Quarry Pond Boat Launch
