*These kayaking class are dependent on weather conditions for your safety and enjoyment. Participants must wear a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) at all times during the class, and appropriate clothing is required to ensure comfort and protection in various weather conditions.

Appropriate Clothing: Wetsuit: Recommended for cold water or cooler weather conditions.

Non-Cotton Clothing: Wear moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabrics (synthetic or wool) as cotton can absorb water and become heavy, increasing the risk of discomfort and hypothermia.

Footwear: Water shoes or sandals with straps are recommended to protect your feet both in the water and on land. Comfort and Safety Items:

Water: Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the class. Sun Protection: A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are encouraged for sun protection.

Weather-Appropriate Gear: Based on conditions, participants may want to bring layers, a waterproof jacket, or other weather-specific items to ensure comfort.
