You will learn to be comfortable & confident in a kayak. Learn basic equipment, safety, proper & efficient stroke techniques, & rescues - how to get out of the kayak & back into it, & to help someone else get into their kayak. You might even get a start on learning to roll. This is equivalent to the ACA Essentials of Kayak Touring course.  You will be well equipped to launch out on Lake Superior with skills learned in this course.  This can be done over a full day, or two evenings. All equipment included.  

 

Cost $100 per person.  Call 906.364.1467 for information.

 

Chase away any fears & build confidence the night before your trip on the big lake! Recommended for those with little or no experience in water sports, or for those wishing to build confidence before launching on Lake Superior. This preparation will help make for a more relaxing pleasurable journey. If you stay at Whitecap Mt. resort the night before your trip, enjoy instructions on peaceful Weber Lake that evening. You'll learn how to maneuver your boat, exit the boat, get a chance to explore the shore & feel confidently ready to paddle the next day.

 

 

Cost: $50 per person.  Call 906.364.1467 for information.

 

If you couldn’t make it to the fall/winter class,  you can join this next January to learn how to kayak!  We will offer the 8 week course on kayaking at the Lindquist Center pool again.  Skills will be taught and practiced to assist people with the abilities to use safe and proper kayaking techniques.  Participants will learn about boat designs, equipment, proper stroke technique, self rescue & group rescues, and principles of group safety dynamics.  Depending on interest, skills such as Eskimo rolls, squirts, cartwheels and stalls can be learned and practiced.  The overall curriculum, however, will be directed toward sea kayaking.  

 

The course will benefit those with experience who want to improve their skills & for those who have never sat in a kayak before, but who are eager to learn.
