2 Day Whitewater Kayak Class The first day you'll meet at our Adventure Headquarters, get fitted with a boat and equipment, and head off to the lake for your lesson. We spend the first day on the calm water of the lake because this gives you the best environment in which to learn the basic skills required of kayakers. You'll learn how to be comfortable underwater, how to get out of the kayak doing what is called the Wet Exit, then learn balance skills, how to stay upright, an assortment of paddling strokes, and a lot of practice time to get these right.	Remember, perfect practice makes perfect, not just practice. Your instructors will be coaching you all day! You can finish your first day with the Eskimo Roll if you want to - the very cool skill to turn yourself back over after a capsize. It is easier than you think and we break it down into a very understandable progression. Your second day will take you to the river, where you'll paddle 4-8 miles of the Lehigh River depending on water levels. All of the practice you've done the first day pays off as you learn how to read a river rapid and negotiate a river as safely as possible. The feeling of accomplishment you'll enjoy is second to none - this is cool stuff, plain and simple! Once you've blasted your way through the last rapid "Final Exam", you'll head back to our Adventure Headquarters, jump into dry clothing and tell river stories for the rest of the day.
