Instruction -- July 8 & 9, 2009
Date: July 8 & 9, 2009
Time 9:00 am - 3:30 PM Location: Camden & Owls Head, Maine Rate:
$180.00 per person (or $160.00 per person if providing own boat and
gear). Deposit is 50% of total and is fully refundable subject to our
policies.
Course Details: 13 hours over 2 days. Class size
limited to 6 people. Designed for the paddler with anything from a few days to
a few years experience on the water who wishes to rapidly push his / her
paddling technique and knowledge to a higher level, and thereby experience
increased enjoyment and confidence. Three main components make up this program:
(1) Rescue technique, (2) Paddling technique, and (3) Safety, Seamanship, and
Navigation. Rescue sessions focus on developing and refining techniques such as
the paddle-float rescue, t-rescue, Eskimo rescue, and Eskimo roll as well as
lesser-known techniques such as re-entry and roll with a paddle float and
modified t-rescue. Various tows will also be practiced. Paddling technique
sessions include development and refinement of forward and reverse strokes,
sweeps, braces, j-lean, etc. Safety, Seamanship, and Navigation sessions
include discussion of chart & compass, GPS, VHF, tides, currents, wind,
waves, and weather. The beginning and intermediate paddler will come away from
this session with increased ability and confidence as well as respect for the
challenges presented by going out on the sea in small boats. $180.00 per person
(includes kayak, gear, guide service, instruction, snacks). $20.00 discount if
you have your own boat and gear. PLEASE NOTE: the amount paid as a deposit is
50% of the total fee for the course. The balance is due upon completion of the
course and may be paid by cash, check or credit card. |
