Quick Start Your Kayak
    $50 three hours of instruction
    $60 for non American Canoe Association members
    Thinking about trying kayaking, but not sure you want to
    commit to a full-day class?  This is the perfect course for
    you.  Learn the basics - safety, lingo and how to maneuver
    a kayak - in three fun-filled hours.  Be sure to follow this
    one up with a rescues class and you'll be off to a great
    start.

Introduction to Kayaking
    $80 six hours of instruction
    $90 for non American Canoe Association members
    This is a comprehensive course to acquire skills to safely
    and enjoyably paddle on calm water. The kayaking class
    includes information on all different kinds of kayaks, about
    the equipment necessary to get started, and how to
    paddle safe on the water.

Essentials of Kayak Touring
    $100 eight hours of instruction
    $110 for non American Canoe Association members
    To teach beginner paddlers to safely and enjoyably kayak
    on lakes, rivers, calm protected ocean environments, and
    other flat water settings.

Coastal Kayak Basic Strokes and Rescues
    $100 eight hours of instruction
    $110 for non American Canoe Association members
    This intermediate course is designed to prepare paddlers
    to comfortably and safely paddle on protected flat water
    environments with conditions not to exceed 1-foot seas,
    10 knot winds and be no more than 1/2 mile from shore
    I recommend the following tow rigs for this class.

Intro to Traditional Qajaq Skills
    $85 eight hours of instruction
    $95 for non American Canoe Association members
    Here you will learn why the Greenlanders are the masters
    of the roll.  They know about 30 different ways of righting
    themselves.  Part of the class will be an exhibition of
    many of these and other trick rolls.  You will see that
    Greenland style rolls are effortless.  They utilize technique
    and not muscle.  We will practice paddling with both
    Greenland style and Storm paddles, sculling, balance
    braces and rolls.  You will work on learning to roll or for
    those having a solid roll, you may learn a new one.  
    Having a Greenland style kayak with a low back and
    Greenland paddle really helps with this clinic.                       
    I recommend the following kayaks for this class.

INSURANCE
    Under ACA sponsored events, Jeff will handle all issues related to insurance.  The ACA
    automatically covers ACA members taking ACA sanctioned classes.  However, if there are
    charges for insurance participants will need to absorb those fees.  

    If the event is not booked ten days prior, there will be a $25.00 late fee.  The insurance is still is
    free for all ACA members, and $10.00 per event for non-ACA members, due before the start of
    the class.  This is the standard ACA policy, and is subject to change.  There is also a charge for a
    named third party.  Please visit the ACA website for the most current information.  Alternatively,
    events organized by a hosting organization cover all insurance matters.
