ROPE Sea Kayak Pool Training

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 prior to attending a ROPE kayaking trip is required to participate.
Wet exits take 15-30 minutes to instruct and complete.

All kayak sessions are free and facilitated by ROPE trip leaders.
