Kayaking 201 Program at Cook Forest State Park

An intermediate skill level kayaking class. Remember to bring your swimsuits, sturdy river sneakers, change of clothes, and lunch. Water & snacks provided. We WILL get wet! Designed to integrate skills learned in Introduction to Kayaking and Kayaking 101, we will be focusing on T-Rescues, Self-Recovery, Buddy Assists, and ferrying.

Participants must pre-register prior to the course by calling (814)744-8407. We’re only accepting 10 participants for this course. Space is limited so please reserve early. Sorry, no children under 16 years old. Minors must be with a participating adult. This course can be used as a pre-requisite to Kayaking 301 and to justify skill level requisites for more advanced river boating programs to be held later this year. Participants who complete any of our kayak trainings qualify for a 50% discount on future river programs.
