Join Friends of Rogers and the Chenango County Cornell Cooperative Extension from 1-3 pm on August 27 and ‘Learn to Kayak’ at Rogers Center. Participants will be taught the basics of river and flat water kayaking, a fun way to see wildlife and to get great exercise.
“We are very excited to partner with Cooperative Extension in offering this new program,” said Simon Solomon, Friends of Rogers executive director. “Kayaking allows boaters the chance to see familiar landscapes from new perspectives.”
Paddling techniques, proper equipment, and how to plan a trip will all be covered. Participants may use a Rogers Center kayak or bring their own.
Boaters must be at least 13 years of age, and if under age 18, must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited, so advance reservations are required by noon on August 26; registration is $12 per person.
The meet-up location for the program is the main parking lot at Rogers Center on Route 80 in
Sherburne.
To register, call (607) 674-4733 or email execdir@FriendsofRogers.org.
