Event Information

Description

Join us for a sunset paddle and canoeing orientation on lake Mendota! 

This lesson is the first step towards enjoying the many flatwater and whitewater canoeing trips that Outing sends out!

We'll meet in the Outing Club/OutdoorUW boathouse (next to the terrace). Please arrive wearing something that can get wet and water shoes/sandals.

We will go over the following:

  • Boathouse and Lake Mendota procedures and rules
  • Types and parts of canoes
  • Basic paddling strokes and techniques
  • Successfully completing this lesson will earn you the canoe orientation.

With the canoe orientation (and swim test) you may participate in flatwater canoe trips and introductory moving water (R1) trips with the club.

Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions!
