Wilmington Trail Club offers a kayak training class through late spring. Register by end of April.

From the WTC site:

"Each year the Wilmington Trail Club offers kayak training programs for those interested in exploring the sport. While we welcome you to join the trail club, it is not a requirement to participate in the training. Courses have been developed over a number of years to slowly and safely progress each student from novice to a confident and capable paddler.  Two separate programs are offered for those 12 and over; one for recreational / touring / flat-water kayaking and the other for whitewater kayaking.  You will find the training progression for both courses  fully detailed in this website."

Registration ends on the last day of April.  The classes will take place over several sessions in May and June.  To find out more or to register, visit:

In addition to participants, the WTC is looking for volunteers to help with the classes.
