Our weekday evening courses that run from May through to October provide our immediate community with the opportunity to enjoy the completely uncrowded waters of our local river—the Madawaska. Three evenings a week, we teach introductory to intermediate paddling skills. With all equipment and instruction provided at minimal cost these courses are immensely popular and accessible to all. Many paddlers come out to enjoy the last hours of sunlight and an evening of fun paddling with friends or family. Some of our evening course members have been paddling with us since our inception in 1998 and continue to come out to refine their own paddling and help teach others.
Dates for 2010: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
- Tuesdays are Women's Evening: This is a great night to gather up your girlfriends for a night of fun on the Mad!
- Wednesdays are Kids Evening, ages 6+: Our instructors are a super enthusiastic bunch who make paddling a fun and enjoyable experience for kids of all ages.
- Thursdays are Community Evening—everyone welcome!: Watch the beautiful sun set as it shines it rays on the sparkling Madawaska!
