RECREATION MEMBERSHIP:

 

The Recreation Membership promotes a healthy, non competitive lifestyle.  Participants receive access to the facility, boat storage and access to selected recreational equipment.  In addition, Recreation members are welcome to take part in Moonlight Paddles at no additional cost!  All Moonlight Paddles will be led by a professional coach, who will provide safety and guidance. 

 

Please check the Calendar to find the dates for Moonlight Paddles in 2008.

 

ADULT LEARN TO KAYAK

 

Sessions will include 4 coached lessons, where participants will learn basic paddling skills, water safety, and gain exposure to many different boats.  The lessons will be taught in a relaxed, fun atmosphere that stresses the enjoyment of the lake in a healthy, environmentally friendly way. 

 

Sessions will only run if we have 6 participants registered into the session.  If we do not have 6 participants registered we reserve the right to combine sessions to make a full group.  Each session therefore needs a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 10 registered participants.

COME TRY IT!

 

‘Come Try It’ is a great way to get people out and trying out the sport, with relative ease.  This program gives the public the opportunity to get out and try the equipment.  Participants received an introductory lesson, which attempts to tempt them back again!  Come Try It runs on Sunday’s during the Summer months.
