About This Activity
The CCE Paddling Club is offering Learn to Kayak Summer camps (Lesson Levels 1 to 4) at Cultus Lake from the beginning of July to the end of August. Kids will play games, learn kayaking skills and water safety and have a blast! The target age for our lessons is 8-17. Participants must be comfortable putting their head underwater and swimming in deep water while wearing a PFD. Group sizes are limited to 10 participants, and taught by two NCCP certified instructors. Our meeting spot is at our boathouse in Parking Lot B, Main Beach, Cultus Lake, 76 Sunnyside Blvd, Cultus Lake. All equipment is provided. What will they learn? Level 1: These classes will embrace all beginners. Learn how to get in and out of a boat, launch independently, balance on the water, properly hold a paddle, reverse and forward sweep to pivot, stop, wet exit without a spraydeck, and paddle backwards. No prerequisites. Level 2: These classes are for the learner who is ready to continue building their paddling foundation. Learn how to select a kayak and paddle that fits you, dry and wet exit with a spraydeck, forward and reverse paddle in a straight line, hold your tilted boat on its edge, draw to bow/stern while pivoting 360° and use safety river signals. Level 3: This learner is ready to complete their paddling foundation on flatwater. Learn how to redirect your boat, change edges, move your boat sideways, weave through obstacles, high and low brace, roll, and perform a T-rescue. For the learners who are stable enough, we will introduce them to a slalom boat.
