During two days we will go through the basic skills in kayaking. The goal is that after this course you feel comfortable to rent a kayak and do a trip on your own (preferably together with a friend).
The course starts at 9.30 both days and will go on until 16.30. We will adjust the course depending on the weather, so we start the first day with going through what your course will look like. You arrange your accommodation on the night between the course days yourself but if you want you can take your course kayak and paddle out to an island and camp there.
