We periodically offer different types of instruction/training geared for various levels of experience and involvement with the organization.

Some classes are introductory, meant for new participants with little to no paddling background, requiring only interest, and have no volunteering requirements.  Others are offered to volunteers and may have prerequisites.

Certain certification courses can have a fee, which that may be covered by the organization depending upon past involvement.
