CANOE LESSONS
The Collinsville Canoe & Kayak lesson program
is built on the belief that a proper foundation of skills and techniques
will lead to a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Our highly qualified,
enthusiastic instructors will be able to teach you the skills you
need to build your confidence in order to pursue your chosen paddle
sport. We strive to keep our student to instructor ratio low to
ensure each student receives one-on-one attention in a controlled
and safety conscious environment.
Adult lessons are for ages 13 and up.

What to wear: Please wear quick drying clothes whenever possible,
(we prefer students not to be wearing cotton), foot protection,
preferably neoprene booties or beach shoes. Remember to bring a
change of clothing and a towel. If you wear eyeglasses, retainers
will prevent their loss.
Please be considerate to other students and arrive at least 15 minutes
before your lesson is scheduled to start. Students arriving less
than 15 minutes before class may be denied entrance into a lesson.
Classes begin promptly at the scheduled start time.
We strive to provide quality gear and safety conscious
instructors. Water sports, however, as well as many other sports
have inherent risks. Due to these risks we ask that you read, accept
and sign a waiver, which we will provide prior to the lesson, or
you may view and print our waiver.
Lessons are subject to change without prior notice.
Additional or custom lessons will be added upon request when possible.
We hold our lessons “Rain
or Shine”, except in the event of extreme weather.
Wetsuits and paddling jackets are available at no charge.
Collinsville Canoe & Kayak is happy to customize any lesson
for work, school or specialized groups. Call us for info. (860)
