WHAT TO BRING

Come dressed to get wet, in swimsuits, or other appropriate clothing.

Try to avoid cotton pants, shirts, as they can get very cold when wet, even on warm days!

Polypropylene or Capilene is best for colder weather, with paddling jackets or light windbreakers over that.                                                                                                                         

If you have wetsuits, such as the Farmer John or Shorty styles, please bring them along, as the water we paddle in can be cold, even in summer.  We do have some suits available.

Diving type booties or thin-soled, flexible tennis shoes (that can get wet) should be worn for paddling.  Tevas or other sandals are not a good choice for this use.

A water bottle, such as a bicycle style one, filled with drinking water or juice.v Sunscreen and sunglasses with retainer strap.

A SNACK for your kids to eat during the class is advisable.

Tips for the instructors are optional, but always appreciated.
