Participants should wear appropriate clothing [no jeans, sweat pants, sweat shirts] and prepare to get wet. Footwear is encouraged as you may encounter sharp rocks or other objects. Also bring a hat, sunglasses with holders, prescriptive glasses holders, sunscreen, towels and other personal items as anticipated. We strongly suggest you NOT bring important items like wallets, cell phones, cameras on the kayak. Bottled water will be provided.
Please notify our program director or instructors of any special requests or needs prior upon arrival.
Volunteers
We are always looking for the assistance of volunteers to help with our programs, especially those with kayaking and paddleboard experience. Volunteers should plan to arrive a minimum of 30 minutes prior to program start for setup and stay 30 minutes after the end of the program to help clean, secure and store gear.
