Intro to Whitewater Kayaking Roll Clinic

OVERVIEW

I’m holding another Intro to Whitewater Kayaking roll/general skill session at the Waynesboro YMCA from 4-6pm this Sunday! If you’ve never gotten a chance to try out a whitewater kayak before and have always wanted to learn the techniques used to roll a kayak in a pool or on a river, this is your chance!

This clinic is targeted for those who have never been in a whitewater kayak before and/or have never been taught the steps to rolling a kayak.* If you are unsure whether this trip is right for you, feel free to email me with questions.

The YMCA charges each person $10 to use the pool, but the club will take care of any kayaking gear you might need.

YOU BRING:
Bathing suit
Towel
Change of clothes for after
Water
Snacks or money for food if you want
$10

THE CLUB PROVIDES:
Kayaks
Paddles
All other necessary gear
Gas

SCHEDULE:
Meet at Echols dorm at 3pm. 30 minute drive to Waynesboro, and we’ll have the pool 4-6pm. Should be back to Cville by 7pm.

I am limiting this trip to a total of 5 people right now (including myself), but I could increase this number depending if any other drivers/instructors can join me. I’m really hoping to be able to spend a lot of time working on individual skills with such a small group!

*The AFC hosts similar roll sessions on Wednesday nights for the same price, but without instruction (Look on the Outdoor Rec website). My clinic is intended to give new kayakers basic instruction so they can go to the clinics on grounds in the future to practice their skills
