Kayaking 101

Please meet at the Park Office in Cook Forest State Park for an advanced skill level kayaking class. Remember to bring your swimsuits, sturdy river sneakers, change of clothes, lunch, snack & water. Boats and all necessary kayaking gear provided. We WILL get wet! Designed to integrate skills learned in ACA’s Introduction to Kayaking, we will be learning T-Rescues, Self Recovery, and Buddy Assists. Participants must pre-register by 8/9 by contacting Dale Luthringer at (814)744-8475. We’re only accepting 8 participants for this course. Sorry, no children under 12 years old. Minors must be with a participating adult. Space is limited, so please reserve early. This course can be used as a pre-requisite to Kayaking 301 and to justify skill level requisites for future wilderness boating programs. Participants who successfully complete our Intro to Kayaking, 201, or 301 classes qualify for a 50% discount on future boating programs
