$5 Paddle Lab!
Ready to hit the water? Our brand-new staff are excited to kick off the season and would love your help getting into the groove. Join us on June 27 for a fun, hour-long kayaking class for only $5! Because these sessions double as a chance for our new staff to sharpen their group management and teaching skills, you'll be volunteering as a friendly "guinea pig" while they guide you through the basics of kayaking. We are offering three sessions, each capped at 10 participants, so please grab a friend (or a few!), and come support our freshly-trained instructors while enjoying some time on the water. Spread the word, and we'll see you there!
