Lifelong Kayaks!

A chance to get out on the water at Stewart Park for an hour and a half in the morning with others, accompanied by an experienced kayaker.

Kayaking is an ideal way to maintain upper body fitness while enjoying the beauty of Ithaca’s waterways. Lifelong members can rent kayaks from Paddle n More or bring their own. A Paddle n More waiver is required of each person when they attend a session. The program is suitable to both experienced and non-experienced paddlers. Tom Stern will be paddling along with the group to assist anybody in need. Beginners should plan to attend the lesson that will be offered during the first session, July 13.  Participants do not have to attend all the sessions, but will be required to let Tom know which dates they are coming to since there is a limit of 8 people per outing.

The sessions will be Thursdays, July 13 – August 17, 8 – 9:30am

The cost will be a one-time $10 registration fee to Lifelong and $10 per person per session to Paddle n More.

Once you register, you will receive details about how to participate in the program.

NOTE: we are looking for two people who are able and willing to help carry the kayaks to the water and who will commit to attending all 6 sessions. The Lifelong registration fee will be waived if you agree to be the kayak schleppers. (Paddle n More fee still applies.) If you want to do this, please call Amy Campbell at 607-273-1511.
