Registered Girl Scouts who have completed grade 4 (minimum age 9) and up can learn to canoe in our clinic on Monday, June 30, 2008 (accompanying chaperone required). Girls will:

• Be able to safely use canoes and canoeing equipment, including PFDs.
• Learn basic maneuverability in canoes.
• Use teamwork to practice steering and propelling canoes.
• Have a safe and fun boating experience.

Girls will practice safe use of canoes and equipment, including proper fitting of PFD’s; learn the basic paddle strokes to maneuver the canoe forward, backward, side to side, and turn around; work with a buddy in a canoe to maximize their paddling efforts; practice newly learned canoe skills through games, repetition, relays and other fun activities; and work on requirements for the Paddle, Pole and Roll Interest Patch. Upon completion of the clinic, each girl will receive a participation card.

Note: The Teen Blue Lantern Weekend, July 11-13, includes optional Canoeing 101 Getting Started Clinic for girls completing grades 6 and up.

Adults will be accommodated in a canoeing clinic only if space is available. Girls will be placed first. The adult fee to participate is the same as the girl’s fee. There is no certification option as part of these clinics.

The cost is $7 per girl. For girls participating in the Teen Blue Lantern Special, the total cost is $27, which includes the Blue Lantern program and Canoeing 101 Getting Started Clinic.
