July 11th
Canoe Rescues
3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Canoeing is a great summer activity! But all water activities come with a measure of risk.
We want to help you enjoy many safe canoeing outings, so the focus of this session will be teaching you how to upright a canoe and get back into it when things go wrong and you find yourself in the water.
Reserve your spot now and come learn this important life skill.
