Kayaking for Tots is a fun way to learn about kayaking, while helping those in need throughout our community enjoy the Holiday Spirit.  Join us on December 14th, at Los Altos Pool at 8pm.  Bring your bathing suit and a new, unwrapped toy, valued at $5 - 15, and receive free admission; $13 otherwise to cover pool and equipment rental. 

Our goal, through this and other events in December, is to fill a large kayak with new, unwrapped toys.  On December 22, we will present our kayak-full-of-toys to to Toys for Tots and Noon Day Ministries, a meal provider for homeless men, women and children. 

Advanced registration is requested.

$13.00 Before Tax
I would wholeheartedly recommend this course. I would also recommend they have several adults in the water, and several "shore-side" as there seemed to be more things to do that I would have expected. Not only for the girls' confidence, but helping turn around the kayaks, getting the girls in and out, etc.

Kelly is someone who knows the sport of kayaking and is able to teach in a safe, effective and fun way.  Not only did the girls have a total blast, but they learned the names for all parts of their kayak and equipment, how to safely enter and exit a kayak, how to help someone else who may be in trouble, what to do in inclement weather and how to best move through the water (to name a few).  We had our last Girl Scout meeting of the year last week, and when I asked the girls what their favorite experience was over the last 3 years, 75% chose kayaking.  I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
