A standard lesson is 1 hour in length and it is recommended you arrive 10 min prior to your lesson to get your equipment so we can begin on time.  The rates we have listed are for a 1 hour lesson, but if you would like an extended lesson we can schedule and adjust the price accordingly.

Our lesson packages are good for 1 year from the date of purchase.

We require 24 hours cancellation prior to class time for full refund. If cancelled in less than 24 hours prior to class time, you will be charged for the full class fee.  

Corporate or large private groups must cancel in writing at least 1 week prior to the event to avoid additional fees beyond the deposit.  Please see your individual agreement for details.

We will paddle in light rain or shine. However, if there are small craft warnings for the bay, we may switch locations to a smaller lake if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, dangerous winds, thunder & lightning are reasons for cancellation of class or event for everyone’s safety and enjoyment.  In the event of dangerous weather, you will receive a full refund of your class fee and we will happily reschedule your lesson for another day.
