| Online Class: Canoeing 101 | Nowadays, we don't need to rely on canoes for gathering supplies and traveling over great distances --- unless we want to, of course. In today's world, we can simply enjoy the canoe for the sake of recreation --- exercise and relaxation can become "one" with a camping or fishing trip or a whitewater adventure. In a world where everything seems to be moving at break-neck speed and super techno-logy, there's nothing like paddling down a slow-moving, sunlit, picturesque river to ease one's mind. The fresh air, exercise, and relaxation are added benefits. First time canoeists would greatly benefit from taking a few lessons, before going out on the water. This comprehensive, illustrated guide is designed to instruct people on the sport of canoeing ; including a brief history of the canoe, a discussion on safety, instruction on basic beginner / intermediate paddling techniques, and proper portaging techniques. Anyone who's interested in learning how to canoe and/or would like more information about how to enjoy this outdoor activity is welcome to enroll in this class.
