This "Covid Bubble" keys trip is for recreational paddlers of all levels who are traveling with people in a shared bubble. We are limiting these trips to a maximum of four people. We will be preparing and serving all meals to minimize exposures and endeavor to manage risks well on all fronts.
For those who have passed their Level 3 skills assessment or just want to work on their on-water leadership skills.
Want more experience in rough conditions but without the dread of very icy water? Our answer to that is an adult spring break that won’t break the bank! You’ll get some experience and expand your skills with navigation, tidal currents and surf.
