The Kayak club has reserved pool times for students to be able to learn the basics of kayaking in a safe and controlled environment with experienced members that are happy to teach and introduce kayaking to students. New kayakers will be able to learn the different kinds of paddle strokes to be able to go forward, backwards, and to turn both right and left. We also will ensure that students are comfortable with flipping their boat and exiting before being allowed to start paddling around. It also provides an opportunity for more advanced kayakers to practice specific skills and better boat control such as play-boating and slalom. We are welcoming all skill levels and all types of people, if you do have a disability please send an email to kwade@mines.edu and we will do our best to accommodate you and make sure that we do our best getting you into a kayak and firing up the stoke!
