Kayak Flatwater Introductory lesson:

We will teach you the basic skills of how to get in and out of the boat safely on shore, go straight, turn, backup and stop on flatwater such as the Tualatin River. You will have time to practice these skills. This class is appropriate for individuals and partners. Both solo and tandem kayaks are available. Class includes boat, paddle, and life jacket.

Build your confidence with basic skills to venture out on short paddling adventures on your own someday!

WHAT TO KNOW:

Please arrive 15 min. prior to start time, to ensure you are checked in, at Tigard's Cook Park Boat Ramp. ­­Make sure that you're wearing appropriate clothes, including shoes that can get wet, sun hats, sunglasses, and bringing along a water-resistant jacket in case it gets cold or rainy. Bring along snacks, water, and sunscreen, but leave all valuables at home.

Please contact Mark Fitzsimons at mark@tualatinriverkeepers.org with any questions.
