When you arrive, you will meet your instructor in the “crew boathouse”. You’ll also start there with your dryland technique session. There are three buildings at the small craft center. The “crew boathouse” is the west-most boathouse (the SCKC boathouse is the center boathouse). You can leave your dry clothes in the crew boathouse. SCKC boathouse changing areas will be full of juniors when you come off the water so you don’t want to have anything there. The restrooms are next to the crew boathouse.
When you launch your kayak, please launch from the EAST dock (the one farthest from the crew boathouse unfortunately). There are 3 docks at the small craft center. A west, center and east. There will be slings out for you to put your boat by the east dock in the morning. Please don’t leave your boat, whether personal or borrowed, by the SCKC boathouse aka the usual place. While you are doing dryland, 60 juniors will come off the water and the area near the SCKC boathouse will be a madhouse.
Cost: $50
