Our BCU and ACA certified instructors are among the most experienced in the area and are eager to introduce new people to the fastest growing sport in Chicagoland. The syllabus will entail a concentrated 1-hr. After lunch you will paddle the lakefront, applying your newly-learned skills. Same as above, but for those who live in the city and don't want to commute to our Wilmette launch site. So you can do a T-rescue, a sweep stroke, and a draw stroke, but you'd like to learn more.
