(For adults & teens) Join us for a peaceful paddle as we introduce the fundamentals of canoeing! This beginner-friendly experience will cover basic paddling techniques, safety essentials, and boat handling to help you feel confident on the water. Canoes and life jackets will be provided. Please wear closed-toe shoes that can get wet and bring a full bottle of water.

Participants will work together to team carry canoes 300 feet from racks to the launch site. Prepare for moderate physical activity, including, lifting, bending, reaching, and crouching.
