Learn and practice a variety of assisted and self-rescues under the guidance of ACA-certified Coastal Sea Kayak Instructors! Full submersion is an integral part of this event. But at the height of summer, it will be a blast! Get over your fear of "getting stuck" in your boat or not being able to get back in by practicing with experienced guides.
Take advantage of this opportunity to become rescue-ready… it just might be the MOST fun you'll have all summer!
Once you register for this clinic, we’ll contact you to sign up for a 45-minute slot (10:30-11:15, 11:00-11:45, 11:30-12:15, 11:45-12:30).
This clinic is for those who have already completed NSYC's INTRO TO KAYAKING course. The cost is $10 per participant. The class is available to current NSYC Full and Paddle members, ages 13 and older. Children 13 to 17 must take the class with an adult member. Students must show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, effective prior to the class date, and must wear a US Coast Guard-approved Type III life jacket (PFD). All equipment is provided.
Cancellations by participant later than 48 hours prior to the class start time will not be refunded. Cancellations after registration and up to 48 hours prior to class start time may be charged a 5% processing fee. Participants will be notified if the class needs to be rescheduled due to hazardous weather conditions or insufficient enrollment.

What to Wear & Bring:
It can be much cooler near and on the water. Early season classes can be cold.
Be prepared to swim and get wet!
- Water bottle (filled!), sunhat and retention strap for your eye/sun glasses.
- COVID-19 vaccination proof.
- Wear only SYNTHETIC fabrics, no cotton – it gets soggy and stays soggy. Multiple layers of polyester or nylon are best. Bring a polar fleece jacket too. If you have a wetsuit, bring it!
- Students MUST wear closed shoes! No sandals, flip flops, or bare feet. Water shoes or old gym shoes work well. You will not be allowed to paddle without proper footwear.
