Our students range in age from 6 to 80! Payment Policies Courses fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Full payment is required upon registration unless otherwise indicated in course description. Some of our more extensive courses have different payment schedules as noted in the course descriptions.

Equipment Course tuition includes all equipment needed unless otherwise indicated in the course description. In our pre-course information packet we will send a suggested list of personal gear, such as watershoes, sunglass strap, drinking water, lunch/snack. Class Size Most of our on-water Adult courses consist of 5-6 students per instructor. These numbers may vary in our advanced and specialty courses. Most of our kids’ programs consist of 10 students and 2 instructors. Course Minimums Our courses require a minimum number of participants to run. If the minimum is not met five business days prior to your course, the course will be cancelled. At that time you may transfer to another course or cancel your reservation and receive a full refund. Pre-Course Information Ten to fourteen days prior to your course you will receive a email packet of information from us. This packet includes an equipment list, directions to your meeting location (all classes meet at Rutabaga unless otherwise noted on your confirmation letter) and other course-specific information. We prefer to confirm via email to be more cost effective and environmentally friendly!
