The touring class is for beginners and those that would like more practice feeling confident on the water. We will discuss weather and tides, route/trip planning, and safety gear.

Paddle for a Purpose is a one-of-a-kind, family-friendly fundraising event happening June 13 at Glidden Point Oyster Farm—where kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards take to the river for a scenic 3-mile cruise (hello, incoming tide!) followed by a shore-side celebration you won’t want to miss.
