Program Expectations: THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER PADDLING CLASS! Program will consist of a brief safety instruction and presentation prior to getting on the water. After safety and presentation, we will launch into the Saw Mill Pond. We will stay in Saw Mill Pond at ALL TIMES! It is illegal to paddle without the proper lights attached to your vessel due to your safety and others'. So, we will not be leaving Saw Mill Pond for this program. Bring a light source (lantern, headlamp, etc.) just in case the moonlight does not provide enough safe lighting. Expect the possibility of getting wet so bring clothes and shoes you do not mind getting wet.
