Beginning and Adaptive Paddling Workshop

Here is your chance to try out the growing sport of sea kayaking in a safe, supportive, and fun day of paddling.  The skilled guides of Elakah will spend the day out on the beach at Bloedel-Donovan Park Boat Launch on beautiful Lake Whatcom.  On a first come, first served basis, you and your family can join us to discover the basics of sea kayaking, receive an assessment of specific adaptions that will allow you to kayak comfortably and safely. The intention of this afternoon is to provide the opportunity for all people, regardless of age, physical or mental ability, or economic means, to get the opportunity to see what it is like to paddle a sea kayak under your own control.  All abilities are welcome. This workshop is free to all. Come early, as slots tend to fill up quickly.

You can plan on getting a half hour of instruction and about a half hour out on the water.  Plan on this activity taking 1-1.5 hours of time.  See you there!
