GKC Level 1 - Intro to Kayak

This is our most popular class, designed for the novice who is interested in kayaking but has limited or no experience in a boat. This class covers basic strokes and safety for recreational kayakers on calm water. After this course, paddlers should feel comfortable paddling a kayak on smaller bodies of water such as flatwater rivers, small lakes and ponds. This class is a prerequisite for renting a kayak from Geneva Kayak Center if the paddler has limited experience.
