Practice Nights
If you want to get good at kayaking, you're going to have to practice. We make that easy by hosting FREE weekly practice sessions for our package students. These fun, informal, 2-hour sessions give students an opportunity to hone the skills they learned in class. This practice is essential since each class in the progression builds off the last, with very little time devoted to review. Here are the details on practice nights:

Whitewater Practice Sessions

- Held from the first week in May until the first week in September
- Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM.
- You MUST arrive by 6:15 so we can all be on the water by 6:30
- Held at Angler's Lot in Potomac, MD (click for map and directions PDF)
- You must register in advance (be advised that sessions book up early)
- You may only attend one practice session per week
- If you own all your own equipment, you do not have to register in advance and you can come to as many practice sessions as you want!
- All participants must bring a completed waiver to each session
- People on the wait list usually make it into the session
- If you are registered for a session and can't make it, please remove yourself from the list at least 2 hours beforehand so others can get bumped off the wait list
- Sessions typically have 15-30 students and 1-2 instructors
- Sessions are held on flatwater. But sometimes, if we have an extra instructor, he or she will take some of the more advanced students up to moving water.
- After practice we always head out for a social dinner
