Every summer (June-August) we host a weekly group paddle for sea kayakers from June through August. These one-hour sessions are a chance for local paddlers to get on the water together in the early morning when seas on Casco Bay are more likely to be calm.

These paddles are led by our staff, who are happy to share their knowledge, but these are not guided trips and you should not join if you need instruction or assistance in order to participate. Please consider taking one of our lessons or joining a tour if you are new to sea kayaking.

Our roughwater weekend workshop will put you between a rock and a hard place, literally! During the course of this two-day session students will gain experience with rock gardening, surf landing/launching, reading roughwater environments, risk assessment, and roughwater rescue techniques. We will paddle in Casco Bay and in the waters surrounding Richmond Island, seeking out opportunities to gain comfort in roughwater and give each student a chance to grow as a paddler.

You should expect to get wet! We will wear helmets at all times when paddling in roughwater, and they will be provided for those who don’t own one.

This workshop is NOT designed for novice kayakers. Please review the prerequisites below before signing up.

Additional oysters can be purchased aboard for $3/each. Tickets for ages 6 & under include ½ dozen oysters and beverage.
