This intro' kayaking program will teach appropriate entries, exits, paddle strokes, basic maneuvers, carries, rescues, and review equipment selection and where to go paddling.  The program will occur at the Rundle Park Paddling Center in east central Edmonton.  All equipment will/can be supplied.  Participants do need to bring a towel and change of clothes, swims do happen occasionally, and wet exits will be required one afternoon!  Rain gear should be brought... only thunder storms chase us off the water. Paddlers are welcome to bring along their own paddle and life jacket for comfort but these items are supplied.  

Optional items: Paddlers may opt to bring their own swim goggles or snorkel mask, nose clips, paddling gloves, reef shoes or sports sandals. The first few items may be helpful for practicing wet exits. Optional items are NOT SUPPLIED. 

This program will run on: August 9th, 10th at Rundle Pond
