Family Day is an open invitation to parents, kids, Scout Leaders, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and anyone who knows a kid or two who loves to kayak or would love to learn. I'd like to extend this invitation to paddlers of all ages to meet other families, get the little ones in a boat for the first time, and, time permitting, play a few kayak games.

One of the hardest parts about teaching is getting someone in a boat for the first time.  Kids are no different.  Once we get them in the boat, I'm certain we can make it fun, entertaining and educational, and they'll want to try it again and again.

At this informal event, I'll provide boats, gear and pool rental.  Feel free to bring snacks, pizzas, soft drinks, etc.  If you have your own boat, or extra boats, please bring them for others.

Kids and adult boats will be available upon request.  While this event is open to anyone, the emphasis should be on uniting families and creating an opportunity for kids to paddle.  Please sign up only if you're bringing kids along with you.

Price: 
$5.00
