ACA Quick Start Clinic is an introduction to paddling a kayak. Students are presented with basic information on equipment, carrying, launching, landing, dressing to paddle safely, potential hazards and simple rescues. Basic strokes covered; forward, reverse, stopping, turning and wet exit. A perfect course to enhance the enjoyment and safety of the entry level paddler. An ACA participation card is given to students.

Rescue Clinic could also be called recovery clinic. In this class students learn what to do in the event of a capsize. Different assisted and unassisted techniques are taught so you can help yourself or someone else back into the kayak. This is a fun, wet class.

Bracing & Rolling. To roll you need a good brace. We will fine tune your braces and then work on developing a bombproof roll! Rolling builds on fundamental support skills that often make rolling non-essential, giving us great confidence. Topics covered: draw strokes, low-brace, high-brace, development of hip-snap, rolling the kayak. These are skills every kayaker wants.

Open Water Skills Clinic This class is for paddlers who are confident in their basic strokes and recoveries and are ready for more challenging conditions. We will work on strokes to help you enjoy the conditions. We will cover: * J-lean and holding an edge to aid in maneuvering, *High & low braces, and sculling to prevent a capsize. *Maneuvers like high & low brace turns, bow & stern rudders & side slips. To top it off we will enjoy the always fun capsize recoveries in challenging conditions and work on advanced recoveries skills.

Combo. This 4 hour course is a combination stroke and rescue course open to everyone but designed for kayakers who want to finally learn how to paddle efficiently and learn on water rescues. (Fee for this 4 hour clinic is $100)
