Introduction to Safe Canoeing 

​This four hour Safe Canoeing Program provides the first-time paddler with basic safety and performance information relative to canoeing. By the end of the session it is expected that paddlers will have enough skill to safely enjoy some recreational paddling with a partner close to shore in calm conditions.
