— Introduction to Canoeing —
If you've ever had trouble making a canoe go straight, you know that canoeing is not just second nature. With guidance, practice, and time, it can be elevated to an art. This course is designed for beginners and others desiring to improve their proficiency in flatwater canoeing.
We will cover basic techniques of paddling, precise maneuvering, and canoe design and materials. Particular emphasis will also be placed on developing safety skills, including rescues, trip planning, portaging, and cold-water preparedness. Our instructors will guide you through a steady progression of skill-building, designed to prepare you to explore ponds, rivers, and lakes on your own.
Three-Lesson Weeknight Series meets for 2-hour sessions at our Newton Boathouse on the same day and time for three consecutive weeks (e.g. three Mondays in a row from 6–8pm).
$89 includes six hours of instruction, three weeks of unlimited on-site practice time at any of our three locations, and borrowing privileges from our video library.
