Get your feet wet in the world of canoeing! Up to four people can join Chippewa Nature Center's Curt Holsinger at Turtle Ponds in Sanford for a morning on the water. Canoeists of all experience levels will enjoy this program covering:

• canoeing basics


• 14 different stroke techniques


• practicing your newfound skills on the pond


• proper paddle selection


• upright a swamped canoe in the middle of a lake


• rescue another canoe in deep water

You'll also learn how to make a canoe do things that they never knew were possible, like move sideways, go backwards or spin in a tight circle!

Snacks provided. CNC will provide canoes, paddles and safety equipment, or you may bring your own.
