The next instructional Class begins on Tuesday Night, July 10, and continues July 17, 24, and 31. The instructional class begins at 7:30 and ends at 9:00. The overall price, listed below, is based on 4 classes on Tuesday nights 7:30 to 9:00 for a total of 6 hours of kayaking. *This is a great deal.
The Open Pool Boating is completely flexible. You show up between 7:30 and 9:00 to throw your boat in the water and do what you want. The price is based on the individual sessions you attend. For example, if you have your own boat and you live in the Evergreen district- you pay $6 bucks for 1.5 hours of heated pool kayaking.
What Will I Learn?
Our instructional classes will help you develop solid kayaking skills:
• Learn to kayak with modern kayaks and gear

Yeah- I Want to do this- What do I Need to do?
Read below and find out what skill level and options best fit your needs. After that, it's better for us if you register at the Evergreen Rec Center website- especially if you fit into option one (1) or four (4) meaning you need gear. If you have your own gear like option two (2) or three (3), then it is not as critical to register on-line but be prepared to sign and pay at the door.
