New To Sea Kayak Workshop - ON HOLD until further notice

[rfolster]

 

Are you looking to make new friends to paddle safely with?  Do you have an interest in kayaking on the ocean but don't know what's involved? Have you never been kayaking before, and want some information to see if it is even something you might be interested in doing?  NSPN is once again running a "New To Sea Kayaking" program starting with a land-based workshop where we will explain who we are as a club and offer a number of presentations on various aspects of kayaking.  The workshops are designed to be informative and social using a combination of lectures as well as hands-on activities, with plenty of opportunity for Q&A.  This workshop will be followed up in the coming weeks with a pool session, lake session, and ocean trip.  Details will be presented at the workshop. 

Date: Sunday April 26th
Time: 10:00am - 2:00pm (with lunch break)
Location: The Gould Barn, 1 Howlett Street, Topsfield, MA
Cost: FREE! - Yes, this is a completely free event and available to the general public!

Questions and registration can be submitted to ntskw@nspn.org.  Registration is required so that we can manage logistics and provide additional information.  We hope to see you there!!

Someone asked me if this adults only or can they bring their children too?

While we don’t have any official policy on children attending, I don’t think the workshop is specifically designed to handle children.  We won’t have any kind of play area for young children, nor would we have anyone assigned to look after children during the workshop.  It is unlikely that young children will have much, if any, interest in the information and activities, and therefore may present a distraction for the parents as well as other participants, which we would like to avoid.  With that said, anyone that might have an interest in sea kayaking is more than welcome to attend and, hopefully, learn more about the sport and how they can engage it.
