Additional Information

Come join us for a half day paddle on Valens Lake where we will practice many of the fundamental as well as several intermediate safety, re-entry, and rescue skills to get us ready for the trips and lessons upcoming in the year. Several of the Padddle Committee members will be present to share tips and tricks with anyone interested. We will be practicing a wide selection of re-entries. As we will be practicing wet exits, assisted, and unassisted re-entries, you can check that off for the season.
