The first Learn to Kayak Course was held Saturday, June 30, 2007 with ten participants.  The class was held from 12:30 - 4:30 p.m.  Organizers felt this first course was a success and are looking forward to future classes.  Due to the heat and possible afternoon wind, the next classes will be held from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.   Pictures below are from first class.
