ROPE is excited to lead kayak trips featuring touring kayaks from Wilderness Systems beginning Fall 2025. These kayaks offer us greater mobility, range, and opportunities to explore areas on water previously inacessible to the program. Throughout the semester we will offer pool sessions to teach registered participants and interested members the essential skill of a wet exit. Adventurous individuals are encouraged to stay and also learn to bow rescue and even self-rescue through a kayak roll.
The ability to swim independently and learning to wet exit is required to participate in a ROPE kayaking trip. Wet exits must be completed prior to the trip.
Wet exits take around 20 minutes to instruct and complete. Leaders will record participant completions.
All kayak sessions are drop-in, free, and facilitated by ROPE trip leaders. No registration is required.
