This is a hands-on KAYAK class at Lake Pleasant County Park. There will be a "classroom" session followed by putting theory into practice--actually paddling a kayak on the water. This course is designed to equip paddlers with basic skills to get from point A to point B successfully, understand the legal responsibilities that come with getting on the water, and what to do in emergency situations. AZGFD provides all of the paddle equipment including life jackets. The classroom portion will take place at the Discovery Center. Please note that the park charges an entrance fee. We will transition to the lake for the water portion. It can be quite hot on the lake so be sure to wear loose fitting, light-weight, and light colored clothing. A hat is a great way to bring your own shade with you. Bring plenty of water so you can stay hydrated. Bring a lunch or snack to eat after the classroom portion and before we get on the water. Wear shoes that can get wet (your feet WILL get wet). Don't forget a towel and a change of clothes as swimming can happen to the best paddler :) Students must be 10 years of age or older in order to attend. If you are registering a minor under the age of 18, a parent or guardian over the age of 18 must accompany them to the class. Most importantly, please do not forget to print and sign the Consent Waiver provided below in the "Requirements" section. Be sure to cancel your registration if you or someone in your household becomes sick.

Tipping a kayak over for fun? Who does that? We do! And so can you! Kayakers know that it is just a matter of time before you wind up flipping your kayak. But what do you do after you wind up in the water? That is what this clinic is designed to answer. Let's take the fear and uncertainty out of capsizing a kayak by practicing how to recover from a flip! In this clinic, you will learn how to deal with a capsize, how to recover from a capsize, and how to help someone else recover from a capsize. And of course, this will all take place in a protected, calm area with plenty of help from a couple of individuals who flip kayaks for fun. This will take place on-site in a small pond named Biscuit Tank. Make sure to bring a change of clothes for after. Here are a few things to consider: You will get wet! You need some kayak experience before taking this class--we will NOT be teaching how to kayak--just how to flip them! We will provide kayaks and life jackets for everyone. Bring water for hydration. If you are wearing glasses of any kind, wear straps that will keep them on your head. Wear shoes that can get wet. Sunscreen is a must. Hats are great, as long as they float.
