As the sun dips below the horizon, we'll turn our attention to the east and watch the full moon rise! If the skies are clear, we should be in for an incredible treat as the rising moon reflects the orange rays of the setting sun.This program is suitable for individuals ages 16 and older. Children under 16 years old may attend with a parent or guardian in a tandem kayak. This is an easy paddle; however, it is not suitable for beginners, and some prior paddling experience is required.All participants must wear a life jacket while on the water.Single and tandem kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are available to borrow for $25 per person.

Please wear shoes that strap or tie to your feet, no flip-flops. Your feet and lower legs will get wet and sandy. You may wish to bring a towel and dry clothes/shoes to change into after the paddle.
