SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CLASSES
In preparation for the Great Keppel Island camp, the Skills Development class schedule has been modified as follows:
Preparation for Keppel
July 27 and August 3 – classes will be at Mooloolaba Spit (Kiddies Corner). Classes are open to the regular skills development students and all people going to Keppel. Classes will start at 07:30 to help students find car parking before it gets too busy. Please dress for immersion. The water is a little cool – not too bad – but the wind chill is significant after being in the water. The focus will be on beach launching and landing, and the associated boat control skills as paddlers approach and depart the beach. Students are free to leave the class at any stage if they are too cold.
Classes during GKI camp
August 10, 17, no Skills Development class due to the Great Keppel Island camp.
The schedule from August 24 onwards will be advised later.
